When you get into the world of addiction there are a lot of words and phrases that get thrown around.

Some phrases sound intuitive to define, like dual diagnosis, but it’s important to truly know the meaning in order to understand you or your loved ones’ diagnosis better. https://sobarecovery.com/what-is-a-dual-diagnosis-in-addiction/

Dual diagnosis is when you struggle with both mental health and substance use disorders. Let’s learn more about dual diagnosis and addiction.

In order to begin your recovery, you must admit that you have a problem and need professional help in order to overcome it. You might not be a trained professional, and therefore aren’t positive that what you are experiencing is actually substance abuse, and we don’t expect you to know how to treat it on your own. If your substance use is beginning to impact your life, relationships, and future, you might want to seek help as soon as possible. https://sobarecovery.com/what-is-a-substance-abuse-evaluation/

If you suspect you are suffering from addiction, a substance abuse evaluation may be the next step to determine what kind of treatment plans would be best for you.

Intensive outpatient programs might be a great option for those that need more support than they can get on their own but might not require 24/7 around-the-clock care from medical professionals. If you do not need medically assisted treatment sessions but still want professional help, intensive outpatient programs might be right for you. https://sobarecovery.com/intensive-outpatient-program/

Intensive outpatient programs are great alternatives to treatment that allow you to maintain your everyday life while still seeking treatment.

You may have fallen off and found that the stress of the last several months has caused you to seek alternate ways to fill your time and supply yourself with happiness.

Maybe you were attending meetings before the start of COVID and had a really great time being around like-minded individuals with whom you were able to share your experience, but then they all got put on pause due to the pandemic. If this disrupted your ability to attend AA meetings, you are not alone.

Online AA meetings allow for more accessibility and flexibility surrounding your recovery, while in-person meetings boast community and accountability.

When you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, it can be overwhelming to navigate the multiple kinds of treatment services that rehab facilities offer. If you aren’t familiar with rehabilitation facilities and their processes, you might leave your search feeling more discouraged than you anticipated.

When it comes to finding what you need at a trusted rehabilitation center, the main thing to know is that they will offer two primary services: inpatient and outpatient.

No matter what services you end up signing up for, know that you are completing one of the hardest parts, and that’s asking for help.

ADHD is considered a mental health disorder that can be diagnosed as childhood ADHD or adult ADHD. Some kids and teens with ADHD can be diagnosed at an early age, while some people, including young adults, won’t be diagnosed until full-on adulthood. Depending on ADHD symptoms, some can be harder to diagnose than others. https://sobarecovery.com/adhd-and-addiction/

Research shows that ADHD and addiction are linked, but with proper treatment of ADHD, you can avoid developing a substance use disorder. Visit us at Soba Recovery to learn more about addiction treatment options!

Most people who struggle with addiction also struggle with mental health disorders that have heavily impacted their drug use. If someone is experiencing emotional or mental distress, they might turn to drugs to cope, stemming from trauma. Trauma and substance use often go hand-in-hand, as trauma informs how you handle emotional and mental stress. https://sobarecovery.com/trauma-and-addiction/

Those who have experienced much trauma in their life are more likely to end up using substances to help cope. That's where Soba Recovery steps in to help.

Alcohol is a depressant that slows down the brain’s activity and makes it more difficult to control your mood and thoughts. If you or a loved one are struggling with alcohol use disorder (AUD), consider going through alcohol detox at one of the Soba Recovery Centers. https://sobarecovery.com/alcohol-detox/

The detoxification process of alcohol can be intimidating due to the side effects and commitment it takes, but detox programs can help you.

The first step for people who want to become sober is often to go through a drug detox. For many dealing with substance use disorder, it’s scary to think about what is going to happen to their body during a drug detox. https://sobarecovery.com/going-through-drug-detox/

When your body is going through a drug detox, it undergoes intense stress and experiences withdrawal symptoms that can be treated and managed.

After spending time in a rehabilitation facility or going through a drug detox, having someone who has gone through similar struggles to support you through your recovery is pivotal in making strides towards recovering from substance use disorder.

If there’s one thing that can test the strength of your sobriety, it’s stress. The world is a stressful place, and it’s practically impossible to find a single person on this planet who isn’t worried or anxious from time to time. Unfortunately, stress is one of the biggest factors of alcohol and drug abuse by far. Emotional and mental stress can make it difficult to follow through with routine responsibilities to your family, friends, and employer. Physical stress like pain or an injury may add a deeper element that challenges your commitment to addiction recovery.

Many people living with depression drink alcohol to try to numb their symptoms. For a short period of time, many of them feel some sort of relief. They might even feel confident, euphoric, and energetic. But after a while, alcohol can make them feel drowsy, lightheaded, nauseated, irritable, and foggy-brained instead, leaving them confused and even more depressed.

https://sobarecovery.com/does-alcohol-make-depression-worse/

Instead of helping symptoms of depression, alcohol can make people feel worse as it starts to affect physical, emotional, social, and mental health.
