Why Consider Treatment at Sierra by the Sea
Why seek treatment for co-occurring self-harm at Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, CA
Without professional treatment, self-harm can have a profoundly negative effect on your emotional, social, and physical well-being. The cumulative impact of this damage can drastically reduce your ability to carry out day-to-day responsibilities and thrive in nearly every aspect of life.
Aside from the immediate physical damage that directly results from self-harming behaviors, the desire to hide evidence of self-harm may make a person less likely to see a doctor for medical conditions they are experiencing. That can pose further risks to your health. The need to keep self-harming behaviors a secret can lead to withdrawal and isolation from friends and family and jeopardize their support when you need help the most.
Given the co-occurring nature of these self-harming behaviors, it’s possible that failing to get treatment for self-harm could lead to the onset of additional or worsening symptoms of a substance use disorder or mental health concern. Even if self-harm is not an underlying cause of a behavioral health disorder, the guilt and shame that often follow these behaviors can still have a damaging effect on your emotional well-being.
