Many addiction treatment programs offer specialized care for individuals with co-occurring depression and addiction, including medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and behavioral therapies.
Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can be particularly helpful in addressing both addiction and depression. These therapies help individuals to develop coping strategies, manage negative emotions, and build healthy habits and behaviors.
It’s important to seek help from qualified professionals who specialize in treating both addiction and depression. This may include addiction counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, or other mental health professionals. You can start by speaking with your primary care physician, a mental health provider, or contacting a local addiction treatment center for more information and resources.
