The Link Between Depression and Addiction
2

• We all have down times in our lives. We may
  experience problems at work or with family, deal
  with them, and then we move on. However, for
  people with depression, the despair of each
  problem is magnified and lingers
• Some people enter residential treatment for
  depression and learn to manage their depression,
  deal with the problems as they arise and lead
  happy lives.

• Depression can be a powerful trigger for the
  abuse of alcohol or drugs. According to QJM
  International Journal of Medicine, men with
  depression and 3 times more likely to be
  dependent on alcohol, and women are four times
  more likely.
• Depression is the leading cause of disability.
  And it makes sense, if you feel bad all the time,
  you look for a way out.

• Although treatment centers for depression are
  helpful in dealing with these co-occurring
  conditions, people with this dual diagnosis are
  more likely to relapse in an outpatient program
  or abandon it altogether.
• Experts at a depression residential treatment can
  treat both conditions at the same time, and the
  inpatient environment leads to a more successful
  recovery which cannot be duplicated.

5

• Depression and addiction feed each other and
  create a hard to break the cycle.
• They are a powerful force that can destroy your
  life. If you are concerned for yourself, a friend
  or loved one, visit a treatment center for
  depression immediately.
