If you currently reside in South Carolina, there are many treatment centers that aid in dual addictions like the ones discussed in this article, to find help, do not wait another day, see: Addiction Treatment Centers in South Carolina. Also visit : South Carolina Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation, SC Alcohol Abuse Treatment Programs and Centers .

It is difficult to deal with one addiction, however when one suffers from a multitude of addictions, it is important to get the right treatment and diagnosis to ensure success. Research shows that there are a high degree of addicts that are suffering from multiple addictions. One report indicates that almost forty percent of all addicts have more than one addiction problem. There are multiple disorders usually occurring as well such as mental disorders. The mental or emotional ailments that frequently co-exist with drug abuse problems are depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, along with other psychological conditions like schizophrenia and personality disorders.

In many cases, and addict rarely starts out an addict, but is first a person struggling with a non drug/alcohol related condition. These conditions can be either of a mental, physical, emotional, or psychological nature. To alleviate the symptoms, many opt to self medicate using alcohol, pain killers, or mood altering drugs to help in coping with or relieving some of their condition. There is information on clinics that specialize in dual diagnosis therapy, the number to call is : 1-866-515-5032.
