1(800) 615-1067Rehabilitation programs for addiction typically focus on treating substance abuse disorders and related issues. However, depression and other mental health disorders often co-occur with addiction, and rehab programs may address these issues as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Depression can be a significant barrier to recovery from addiction, as it can lead to feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and low motivation. Rehab programs may use a combination of therapy, medication, and other interventions to address depression and other mental health concerns.
Therapy is a common component of rehab programs, and various types of therapy can help individuals with depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one example of a therapy that can be effective in treating depression. CBT can help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and develop more positive coping strategies.
Medication may also be used to treat depression, and rehab programs may work with healthcare professionals to ensure that medication is appropriately prescribed and monitored.
In addition to therapy and medication, rehab programs may offer support groups, mindfulness-based interventions, exercise programs, and other interventions that can help individuals with depression. By addressing depression and other mental health concerns, rehab programs can help individuals achieve and maintain long-term recovery from addiction.
