Mental illness and substance abuse are frequently intertwined. Unfortunately, many treatment plans isolate either the symptoms of the substance abuse or the mental illness, rather than treating the whole person. Traditional recovery methodology can gloss over mental illness in favor of treating substance use disorders and vice versa.
At Sabino, we treat the underlying trauma behind mental illness and substance abuse. We understand the prevalence of co-occurring disorders and take a more holistic approach so each of our residents finds true, long-term healing. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMSHA) uses the term co-occurring disorders for coexisting mental illness and substance abuse disorders.
In this episode of A wise mind presented by Sabino Recovery, host Sam Zimmer sits down with the Chief Medical Officer at Sabino Recovery, Dr. Aaron Wilson M.D. Sam and Dr Wilson discuss exactly what dual diagnosis or a co-occurring disorder is, the importance of treating the individual when they have a dual diagnosis and how Sabino Recovery treats those suffering with a dual diagnosis.
