It’s not always clear which came first, but both need to be treated in order to provide the best scenario for recovery. It’s vital to treat both issues simultaneously and to educate individuals about their mental health and their addiction. Untreated, mental illness may repeatedly trigger relapse to substance use. Our team has the tools to diagnose and treat patients for both their addiction and the underlying and interwoven mental health issues that often accompany addiction. This is called dual disorder treatment. The good news is that dual disorders are treatable. About 80% of patients with addictions have psychiatric symptoms in addition to their addiction which makes them use drugs to treat their psychiatric symptoms. Common mental health disorders coupled with substance use disorders include: anxiety disorders, depressive symptoms, bipolar spectrum disorders, attention- deficit disorder, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, PTSD associated with traumas, and chronic pain conditions. Some individuals use drugs to numb psychological pain, such as depression, anxiety and trauma. Drugs create a sense of happiness, euphoria and calmness as well as a sense of numbness. Drugs also relieve actual physical pain due to their effect on the peripheral pain pathways. People also use drugs because they want to maintain the artificial sense of happiness and also because the withdrawal symptoms from the drugs can be very uncomfortable and they have to keep using the drug(s) to prevent the withdrawal symptoms. Untreated symptoms of mental illness may repeatedly trigger relapse to substance use. Relapse indicates a return to prior, old Medication-assisted treatment such as Suboxone and Vivitrol can behavior. Relapse is often part of a learning curve for individuals stop the cravings for drugs and alcohol, allowing the individual to who are trying to learn new, healthier behaviors and skills, to take stay focused on their recovery plan. care of themselves differently and maintain sobriety.

Treating addiction and mental health is not a one-size-fits-all solution. In treatment, clients find a range of care, as well as the One client told to me: “Treatment has taught me how recognize understanding and nonjudgmental care to help them develop my symptoms of depression early on, and not turn to drugs when coping skills and alternative behaviors and find a new path to a I was feeling upset or down.

  • A Comparison of Patients Relapsing to Addictive Drug Use with Non
    A Comparison of Patients Relapsing to Addictive Drug Use with Non-relapsing Patients Following Residential Addiction Treatment in Antigua TC Martin1,2, JA Josiah-Martin1, J Kosakoski1, K Norton1, T Sinnott1 ABSTRACT The outcome of a 29-day residential addiction treatment programme for persons from Antigua and Barbuda with addiction to drugs or alcohol was assessed. All 100 patients entering the drug and alco- hol treatment programme at Crossroads Centre Antigua between November 1998 and October 2002 were included. All patients were assessed with regards to drug or alcohol use or abstinence in November 2002 using telephone and mail follow-up as well as informal follow-up with families and other community contacts. Crossroads Centre Antigua is a 35 bed, 29-day residential treatment centre for drug and alcohol addiction serving patients from developed countries (85%) and from the Caribbean region (15%). Patients records were also reviewed to obtain age, gender, ethnicity, drug of choice, years of problematic use, completion of the 29 day programme, family member participation at Crossroads Centre Antigua (a four-day programme) and acceptance of halfway house placement. Of the 100 Antiguan patients admitted, 46 (46%) were abstinent (non-relapsers) at average 20.7 ± 14.7 months after treatment. Abstinence did not have to be continuous. Forty-nine were known to be using drug or alcohol (49%) and five (5%) were lost to follow-up and considered to be using drugs (relapsers). Age (37.5 vs 41.1 years), gender (28% vs 22% female), ethnicity (87% vs 87% Afro- Caribbean), years of harmful use (12.7 vs 12.5 years) did not differ significantly between relapsers and non-relapsers.

  • Eric Clapton - Sein Leben Und Seine Musik Bis Heute Von Thomas Mießeler, Clapton.De
    Eric Clapton - sein Leben und seine Musik bis heute Von Thomas Mießeler, Clapton.de Geburt, Eltern, Großeltern Eric Patrick Clapton wurde am 30. März 1945 im Hause seiner Großeltern in Surrey, England, geboren. Er war der uneheliche Sohn der erst 16-jährigen Patricia Clapton. Sein Vater, Edward Fryer, ein 24-jähriger kanadischer Soldat, war zu dieser Zeit in England stationiert und zog noch vor Claptons Geburt zurück zu seiner Frau nach Kanada. Für ein unverheiratetes, 16-jähriges Mädchen war es in den 40er Jahren äußerst schwierig, ein Kind eigenständig großzuziehen. Daher übernahmen Patricias Mutter Rose Clapp und ihr Stiefvater Jack Clapp die Vormundschaft über den jungen Eric. Patricias Nachname, Clapton, stammte von ihrem leiblichen Vater, Reginald Clapton, der 1933 gestorben war. Patricia lernte derweil in Deutschland einen anderen kanadischen Soldaten kennen, Frank McDonald. Nach ihrer gemeinsamen Hochzeit zogen sie nach Kanada aufgrund Franks militärischer Karriere. Patricia bekam noch drei weitere Kinder. Claptons Kindheit und Jugend Eric, der in der Obhut seiner Großeltern aufwuchs, sollte von den Umständen seiner Geburt lange Zeit nichts wissen. Er verhielt sich in seiner Kindheit still und zurückhaltend. In der Schule galt er allerdings als ein überdurchschnittlicher Schüler mit einer ausgeprägten Begabung im künstlerischen Bereich. Als einschneidendes Erlebnis bezeichnet Clapton bis heute sein neuntes Lebensjahr, dem Jahr, in dem er die wahren Hintergründe über seine leiblichen Eltern erfahren sollte. Es passierte, als seine Mutter Patricia zu Besuch nach England kam. Eric war bis dato fest davon überzeugt, dass seine Großeltern seine Eltern und seine Mutter seine große Schwester gewesen war. Die Konfrontation mit der Wahrheit war für den jungen Eric ein tiefer Schock.
