If you suffer from chronic alcohol or substance use and have tried numerous times to stop with no success you may have a Co-Occurring Disorder and don't even realize it. Many people who frequently use substances to make themselves feel better are self-medicating symptoms associated with panic, depression or anxiety. It's very common for a person with chronic addiction to also suffer from bipolar disorder or other mood disorders at the same time which makes maintaining abstinence very difficult and many times impossible.

When a person is diagnosed with a mood disorder like major depression or bipolar disorder and addiction at the same time, this is referred to as co-occurring (dual diagnosis) disorder. At West Ridge Manor we specialize in diagnosing and treating co-occurring disorders and treating both the addiction and mood disorder at the same time.

It's crucial for the mental health disorder to be addressed and treated at the same time addiction is treated in order for a person to successfully recover and manage their sobriety.
