There are numerous depressive disorders, ranging from mild to moderate to severe, and symptoms of depression may also be indicative of another mental illness as well. For those who are living with a substance abuse disorder in Georgia, depression is very often an issue, if not a co-occurring diagnosis or characteristic of a co-occurring mental illness. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) report that more than 20 million Americans struggle with some form of depression.
Common signs of the disorder include:
Depression symptoms may be triggered by acute events (e.g., job loss or threat of job loss, end of a relationship, death of a loved one, etc.) and may be normal, but if symptoms persist for more than six months, treatment is recommended. Treatment may include medications like tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., Prozac, Zoloft) and cognitive and/or behavioral therapies. Holistic treatments that lower stress levels and increase an overall sense of positive wellbeing are recommended.
Various professionals are qualified to treat different aspects of co-occurring disorders across different medical, therapeutic, and support specialties. All professionals on the therapeutic team should be experts in the services they are providing as well as in the application according to clients' diagnoses. For example, nurses, doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, yoga teachers, sober coaches, life skills coaches, residential counselors, and staff members should not only be well-educated in their respective fields with years of experience but also experts in treating substance abuse as well as the specific mental health disorder.
For each person in recovery from two or more mental health disorders including substance abuse, a range of therapeutic interventions may be appropriate. Therapy may be applied in an one-on-one setting or in a group forum, and it is generally advised that each patient takes advantage of an unique mix of types and styles. Some therapies are brief and designed to be completed within a specified number of sessions. Others are goal-oriented, based on a specific area that needs improvement, and end when that goal is accomplished. Still others are open-ended and allow clients to attend once or more per week as needed. They are client-driven or group-driven and focus on the acute issues facing those involved. Some common therapies used to treat co-occurring disorders include:
Therapies that focus on the perspectives upon which the client bases ultimately self-harming decisions and the assumptions that drive those perspectives are often healing for people in recovery from mental health and substance abuse disorders. Similarly, addressing the behaviors that may be automatic for clients but not ultimately serving their abilities to remain sober or manage mental health issues can help them to make shifts and changes that will improve their quality of life and their ability to better manage their mental health disorder, and also avoid relapse.
A form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT is designed to help patients who may experience suicidal thoughts and tendencies through learning how to accept the reality of what is, via mindfulness training rather than judging their experiences - or themselves - as good or bad.
If you are in Georgia and you are struggling with a co-occurring disorder, any of the numerous centers will be happy to offer a helping hand. Many of them have special finance packages to help persons whose finances are not in great shape.
