Dual diagnosis
More often than you might imagine, drug or alcohol addiction can mask mental illness, or vice-versa. A combination of the two – commonly known as “dual diagnosis” – is prevalent that Inner Peace Reserve’s trauma program was built to treat it. Mental illness and substance abuse are dangerously synergetic.
A mental disorder may cause an individual to seek “relief” in the form of drugs or alcohol. Exacerbating the disorder and increasing the degree of substance abuse. It is a vicious cycle and can complicate treatment efforts if not identified properly. Therefore, an individual who receives treatment for addiction but not their underlying mental disorder is likely to relapse once treatment is complete.
