Dual-Diagnosis Treatment in Asheville
Living with Bipolar disorder increases your risk of developing a substance use disorder. About one in four people with a serious mental illness like bipolar disorder are said to develop a substance use disorder. However, using alcohol and other drugs can worsen the symptoms of bipolar disorder and other mental health concerns. This is true for both people with bipolar I and bipolar II.
Ritual Recovery specializes in dual-diagnosis treatment. Extensive research shows that integrated (dual-diagnosis) treatment addressing both substance abuse and co-occurring mental health concerns, like bipolar disorder, is superior to separate treatment for each diagnosis. Substance abuse serves a function. We’re here to help you understand the role substances play in your life and find healthy ways to manage your overall mental health and sobriety confidently.
