Co-occuring Psychatric Disorder Treatment in India

A co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis refers to individuals suffering from one or more medical disorders. Co-occurring disorders and addiction are quite common as many individuals suffer from more than one drug addiction. Dual diagnosis can also refer to an individual with an addiction to drugs and alcohol or to those individuals with a drug addiction combined with a psychological disorder such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia or an eating disorder. Individuals with a drug addiction and a major physical health problem such as AIDS or cancer are also considered to have a co-occurring disorder. Recovery for individuals with a co-occurring disorder and addiction is challenging, which is why it is so important for the individual to seek the help of a professional treatment centre. At AHC, Asia’s most respected alcohol and drug treatment center, we understand that patients with co-occurring disorders need special treatment due to the psychological problems related to their drug and alcohol abuse. Treatment for individuals with co-occurring disorders is a more intricate and complicated recovery process and requires counsellors with experience in dealing with these cases. At AHC, not only does our team of addiction recovery counsellors have a wealth of experience in the treatment of co-occurring disorder cases, we also have strong and consistent collaboration with referring physicians for treatment of our clients with a dual diagnosis.
