The Link Between Depression and Addiction

  • We all have down times in our lives. We may
    experience problems at work or with family, deal
    with them, and then we move on. However, for
    people with depression, the despair of each
    problem is magnified and lingers
  • Some people enter residential treatment for
    depression and learn to manage their depression,
    deal with the problems as they arise and lead
    happy lives.

  • Depression can be a powerful trigger for the
    abuse of alcohol or drugs. According to QJM
    International Journal of Medicine, men with
    depression and 3 times more likely to be
    dependent on alcohol, and women are four times
    more likely.
  • Depression is the leading cause of disability.
    And it makes sense, if you feel bad all the time,
    you look for a way out.

  • Although treatment centers for depression are
    helpful in dealing with these co-occurring
    conditions, people with this dual diagnosis are
    more likely to relapse in an outpatient program
    or abandon it altogether.
  • Experts at a depression residential treatment can
    treat both conditions at the same time, and the
    inpatient environment leads to a more successful
    recovery which cannot be duplicated.

  • Depression and addiction feed each other and
    create a hard to break the cycle.
  • They are a powerful force that can destroy your
    life. If you are concerned for yourself, a friend
    or loved one, visit a treatment center for
    depression immediately.
