SPIRIT WOLF
Spirit Wolf is a Telehealth provider for addiction & mental health guidance.
Someone who is struggling with addiction may also have a mental health condition. The presence of this co-existing situation can increase the addictive behavior. The characteristics of substance abuse disorders can overlap with the characteristics of mental illness, making it challenging to tell whether someone developed mental problems as a result of addiction, or if they were already suffering from a pre-existing mental illness.
Many coexisting disorders, which include depression, anxiety, bi-polar and post-traumatic stress disorders, and others lead to overwhelming feelings of hopelessness. When people with these conditions begin using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism to manage the symptoms of their mental illness, things can get out of hand very quickly.
DO YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION?
If your loved one with a substance abuse also has a mental health condition, a professional intervention is one of the most successful ways to help them to begin following a holistic strategy that addresses both their addiction and their mental health condition.
A professional intervention counselor can help organize a dual-diagnosis intervention even under challenging circumstances. We customize our approach for dual-diagnosis addiction meetings in a way that takes the addicted person’s state of mind into account. Knowing emotions can run high during these meetings, we know how to defuse tense, hostile or stressful situations.
