Wyoming Dual Diagnosis Rehab Centers

Depression and addiction are some of the most pressing health problems today in Wyoming. Substance abuse and addiction often go hand-in-hand and for that reason should be treated together. Dual diagnosis rehab centers in Wyoming treat the person as a whole to help them overcome addiction and effectively manage their mental illness.

Mental illness is among the most common health problems in Wyoming and throughout the U.S., though many are unaware of their condition or do not realize they need help. Depression is especially common in Wyoming. In 2006, more than 7 percent of people polled in Wyoming reported being currently depressed. Approximately 18 percent of people in the state were either experiencing depression or had otherwise been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives.

Post-partum women seem especially prone to depression, with 12 percent of post-partum women in Wyoming reporting feeling down, hopeless, depressed, or otherwise uninterested in doing the things they once enjoyed. Similarly, people in nursing homes are also pre-disposed to mental illness – only in much higher proportions. More than 67 percent of nursing home residents over age 65 have some type of mental illness, such as dementia, Alzheimer disease, or mood disorders.

But it isn’t only depression that can cause mental anguish. Anxiety, for example, affects people in epic proportions. Many go undiagnosed; but according to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 10 percent of people in Wyoming have received a diagnosis of anxiety at some point in their lifetimes. Other conditions, such as serious psychological distress, are less prevalent but still a real threat, affecting 2.6 percent of people in the state.

Unfortunately, many people who have mental illness are also experiencing substance abuse disorder. When the two are co-occurring, the condition is referred to as ‘dual diagnosis.’ People who have dual diagnosis disorders need to seek treatment as quickly as possible. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, mental health disorders can increase the risk of some people developing a substance abuse problem. This is because many people turn to alcohol or drugs as a way of self-medicating, rather than seeking help from a qualified treatment center.

Substance abuse disorder and mental health disorders can be difficult to manage on their own, but together they can become uncontrollable and dangerous for those who must cope with them each day. It is important that anyone experiencing symptoms of both disorders seek treatment from a dual diagnosis treatment center as soon as possible.
