Treating Addictive and Psychiatric
Disorders Simultaneously

At Assisted Recovery Centers of America (ARCA) we diagnose and treat both the addiction and co-occurring psychiatric disorder with a combination of medications and behavioral therapies.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports alcohol and other drug (AOD) use can both cause psychiatric symptoms and mimic psychiatric disorders, and psychiatric disorders can mimic addictive disorders. Knowing that over 70% of addicts suffer from co-occurring disorders is vital to successful treatment.

Depression, anxiety and symptoms relating to bipolar disorders and some symptoms of attention deficit disorders can result from AOD use. People who actually suffer from such disorders may find some relief in drug use. AOD use can also cause, worsen or mask psychiatric symptoms and disorders. Alcohol, for example, is a leading cause of depression.

At ARCA, we provide treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders. Effective treatment requires proven medications and cognitive behavioral therapy. Many people relapse not because they do not want to be clean and sober, but because they have a condition that has been missed by the treatment center they sought help from.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) people with dual disorders have a much better chance of recovery from both disorders when they receive combined or integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment from the same clinic or treatment team. Ineffective treatment can increase the risk of other issues such as hospitalizations, financial and family problems, violence and sometimes even suicide.

We now have specific medications that attenuate the craving and medications that treat the psychiatric disorder. This combined approach has significantly better outcomes.

Ready for Help?
Here’s the bottom line: If drugs or alcohol are causing problems with someone you care about or your health, family, work or school, finances, or the law, then it’s time to quit.

If a friend, loved one, or colleague says you need help, you probably do. They may see your situation more clearly than you can.

With help from Assisted Recovery, you will get through your first alcohol/drug-free days comfortably and safely. Once you begin anti-craving medications and relapse-prevention therapy, you will be ready to rebuild your life.
