Treating Addiction and Other Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Addiction and mental health conditions often occur together. Dr. Kerubo evaluates the relationship between substance use and conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and bipolar disorder so treatment addresses the full clinical picture.
Depression and Addiction
Depression and substance use can occur together and affect each other. Psychiatric treatment can address depressive symptoms while also addressing problematic alcohol or drug use.
Anxiety and Addiction
Some people use alcohol or drugs while trying to manage anxiety symptoms. Treatment can address the anxiety and substance use together rather than treating either problem in isolation.
ADHD and Substance Use
ADHD can affect attention, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and decision-making. When ADHD and substance use occur together, treatment can address both conditions as part of the overall psychiatric care plan.
Trauma and Substance Use
Trauma-related symptoms can contribute to problematic substance use for some people. A psychiatric evaluation can identify trauma-related concerns and incorporate appropriate treatment into the substance use care plan.
Bipolar Disorder and Substance Use
Substance use can complicate bipolar disorder and mood stability. When both conditions are present, psychiatric treatment needs to account for mood symptoms, substance use, medications, and overall stability.
