Darlington, WI. - Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse DisordersMany treatment programs in Darlington, Wisconsin address individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders. A person who struggles with a mental disorder(s) and substance abuse needs to work through both issues concurrently. Failing to address the client's mental disorder(s) during their drug treatment will leave them vulnerable to relapse once they leave treatment. Difficulties with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other mental disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will come up once back in their day to day life. If the individual does not have a grip on how to handle their mental disorder they will likely fall back into their old ways of abusing drugs or alcohol as a means of coping and self-medicating.
