What are Co-occurring Disorders?

How Serious is the Problem of Co-occurring Disorders and Addiction?

In today’s world, people from diverse backgrounds are increasingly diagnosed with co-occurring disorders. With the growing number of individuals facing dual diagnoses, rehab facilities are adapting to effectively address these intricate cases. More than half of those struggling with drug addiction are estimated to also have a co-occurring mental illness. Additionally, over one-third of individuals with a mental illness experience some form of substance addiction. Various substance addictions may co-occur with other disorders like-

Alcoholism
Cocaine addiction
Club drug addiction
Drug addiction
Crystal meth addiction
Heroin addiction
Methadone addiction
Prescription medication addiction
Eating disorders related to addiction

Individuals with a co-occurring disorder may present with various mood or personality disorders. Some of the most common mood and personality disorders associated with addiction are:

Depression

Depressive disorder, affecting individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally, disrupts daily life and relationships, causing distress to those affected and their loved ones. However, with adequate support and treatment, relief is attainable for most individuals. It’s crucial to understand that depression is not a sign of weakness and cannot be overcome by mere will power. Effective treatment is essential for recovery. Untreated depression can persist for extended periods, but with appropriate intervention, most individuals can overcome it and regain their quality of life.

Psychosis

Psychosis refers to a condition where individuals lose touch with reality, often experiencing hallucinations and delusions. It can be a symptom of various mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression. Our specialized care at Ankur Rehab Centre involves comprehensive assessments, early intervention, and therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring
mental stability and ensuring long-term recovery through tailored treatment plans.

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder characterized by disruptions in thinking, perception, emotions, and behavior. Individuals with schizophrenia may experience hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, and impaired functioning. At Ankur Rehab Centre, our team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors offer personalized treatment plans that include
medication, therapy, and social rehabilitation to help patients manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.

Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD)

Bipolar Affective Disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, causes extreme mood swings ranging from emotional highs (mania) to lows (depression). At Ankur Rehab Centre, we provide holistic care through a combination of mood-stabilizing medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle management strategies that help individuals regain control over their emotions and maintain stable,
productive lives.

Personality Disorders

Personality disorders are enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate from societal expectations. These may lead to difficulties in interpersonal relationships, work, and daily functioning. Ankur Rehab Centre offers an integrated treatment approach combining psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and group therapy to help individuals understand and manage their behaviors while fostering healthier relationships and coping mechanisms.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders encompass conditions like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and phobias. They involve excessive, persistent worry or fear that disrupts daily life. At Ankur Rehab Centre, we offer a range of therapeutic options, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and medication management, empowering individuals to overcome anxiety and lead more balanced, stress-free lives.

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) affect cognitive functioning and adaptive behavior. Individuals may struggle with everyday social and practical skills. At Ankur Rehab Centre, we provide specialized interventions, including behavioral therapy, skill development, and occupational therapy, to enhance the quality of life for those with IDD, fostering independence and social inclusion.
