How can therapy help anyway?
Therapy provides an integrated approach that addresses both disorders simultaneously. This is crucial because these disorders often interact with each other. Mental health issues can lead to substance abuse as a form of self-medication, and substance abuse can exacerbate mental health problems.
Therapy for co-occurring disorders is about treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of one disorder or the other. It's a comprehensive approach that can lead to lasting change and a better quality of life.
Life is treatable.
Treatment is not a universal, one-size-fits-all approach. However, some common approaches can include:
Behavior Therapy | Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution focused therapy are common approaches to treating anxiety.
Anxiety + Medication | Some people may need medication to help supplement talk therapy in actively treating anxiety. That is okay. It is also okay if you prefer not to utilize medication.
Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, Grounding Techniques | These practices are easy to adapt based on need and help bring immediate relief of symptoms without any specialized equipment.
