Top Hemet, Addiction Recovery Centers: Reviews and Ratings

From 2014 to 2016, Riverside County’s age-adjusted death rate due to substance abuse was 15.2 deaths per 100,000. The county also had 10.8 deaths per 100,000 due to suicide.¹

Many people who have an addiction also have a mental health condition, such as depression. When someone struggles with a substance abuse and mental health condition at the same time, it’s known as dual diagnosis. In 2016, 8.2 million adults age 18 and older had both a substance use disorder and a mental illness in the past year, or about 3.4% of adults.²

Someone with a dual diagnosis needs a treatment program that can address both conditions at the same time. Left untreated, the symptoms of one of the disorders may be more likely to resurface and could increase the risk of relapse. Increasingly, more centers are offering dual diagnosis treatment.

Treatment for an addiction often involves therapy and medications, and the process is similar for a mental health condition. However, the therapies and medications can be different for these conditions. Therapy for addiction, for example, may focus on changing behaviors and the way someone thinks about drugs.
