Learn About Depression Treatment

Discover treatment for co-occurring depression at Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, CA

Depression is a common co-occurring disorder among adults who struggle with addiction. Some people turn to alcohol or other drugs in a misguided attempt to self-medicate or numb themselves to the symptoms of depression, which can lead to addiction. In other cases, the negative effects of addiction can prompt the onset of depression.

Anyone who is dealing with a substance use disorder and a co-occurring depressive disorder needs to receive comprehensive treatment that will address both disorders.

Effective treatment for addiction and co-occurring depression begins with a thorough assessment. The assessment is important because many people who enter treatment for addiction don’t realize that they’ve also been dealing with co-occurring depression until they begin to receive care. The assessment can identify the co-occurring depression and ensure that it is incorporated into the individual’s treatment plan.

A focus on personalized care can also be a vital component of effective treatment for addiction and co-occurring depression. Just as the impact of co-occurring depression can vary from person to person, the effectiveness of certain types of treatment can differ from individual to individual.

A treatment center that offers an array of services, and that can select and customize these services to best meet the specific needs of each person, will be best prepared to provide effective care for adults who have been struggling with addiction and co-occurring depression.

If you or someone you care about has been dealing with addiction and co-occurring depression, Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, California, can provide the comprehensive, personalized solutions that can put you on the path toward improved well-being.

Why Consider Treatment at Sierra by the Sea

Why seek treatment for co-occurring depression at Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, CA

Untreated co-occurring depressive disorders can have a devastating impact on a person’s life. When a person’s struggles with addiction are accompanied by co-occurring depression, they may find it difficult or impossible to form and maintain healthy relationships, make suitable progress at work or in school, establish financial independence, and otherwise enjoy a productive independent lifestyle.

If you need treatment for addiction and co-occurring depression, failing to get that care can put you at increased risk for significant physical, psychological, and socioeconomic harm.

Addiction and co-occurring depression can cause problems within the context of your relationships with friends or family members. This can lead to withdrawal or isolation, which can rob you of a vital source of support at a time when you can most benefit from the help of others.

Co-occurring depression is associated with low energy levels, poor concentration, and a lack of motivation. These characteristics can have a powerful negative impact on your performance in school or at work. This, in turn, can lead to job loss, chronic unemployment, and financial setbacks.

When you don’t get the care that you need for addiction and co-occurring depression, you may begin to neglect your physical health or act in ways that are counterproductive to continued well-being. This can lead to the onset or worsening of a variety of medical challenges. Poor self-care, combined with the continued stress of living with addiction and co-occurring depression, can also bring about or exacerbate the symptoms of other mental health concerns.

Continuing to struggle with the symptoms and effects of addiction and co-occurring depression can also put you at risk for suicidal thoughts and actions.

However, these negative effects and outcomes can be avoided. You can walk a much healthier and more hopeful path, and you can achieve a much brighter future. This journey starts with effective professional treatment. When you get the care that you need for addiction and co-occurring depression at a reputable treatment center such as Sierra by the Sea, you take a significant step toward improved health.
