    Treating Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders - Treatment is not one size fits all. Since men and women often face different challenges when it comes to treating substance use and mental health disorders, Crossroads offers gender-responsive treatment programs. We tailor our treatment models to women and men's individual needs. From depression and anxiety to post traumatic stress disorder and other mental health conditions, these issues can affect substance use and the ability of clients to overcome obstacles. Part of recovery involves positive thinking, self-motivation, and confidence, which all stem from addressing mental health concerns and recognizing how they affect treatment and recovery.

      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      What you should do and how to cope if you are living with an addict?

      Living with an individual struggling with addiction can be challenging and emotionally taxing. It's essential to find effective strategies to cope with this situation, protect your own well-being, and potentially influence your loved one towards recovery. Here are some strategies:

      1. Educate Yourself: Understand that addiction is a disease, not a choice or moral failing. Learn about the specifics of the addiction, its effects, and treatment options. This knowledge can help you better empathize with your loved one and give you an idea of what they're facing.
      2. Set Boundaries: Establish boundaries that protect your mental, emotional, and physical health. This could involve rules around drug use in the house, or not covering for the addict's responsibilities. Be firm in maintaining these boundaries.
      3. Avoid Enabling: While it can be difficult to watch a loved one suffer, avoid actions that enable their addiction, such as providing money that may be used on drugs or alcohol, or making excuses for their behavior.
      4. Communicate Openly and Honestly: Express your concerns without blame or judgment. Use "I" statements to express how their behavior affects you and others in the house.
      5. Encourage and Support Treatment: Encourage them to seek professional help. Show support for their efforts to engage in treatment and maintain recovery.
      6. Take Care of Yourself: It's crucial to look after your own health too. Make time for activities you enjoy, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and seek support when needed. You cannot pour from an empty cup, so ensure you're well-equipped mentally and physically to cope with the situation.
      7. Seek Support: Consider joining a support group for families and friends of individuals with addiction, such as Al-Anon or Nar-Anon. These groups can provide a community of people who understand your experiences and can provide advice, support, and a safe space to share your feelings.
      8. Consider Professional Guidance: If the situation becomes unmanageable or you're unsure how to proceed, seek help from a counselor or therapist familiar with addiction. In extreme cases, a professional intervention may be necessary.

      Why can't a person just simply stop abusing drugs?

      Drug addiction, often referred to as Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in the mental health field, is a complex condition characterized by compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. It's considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain's structure and how it works, leading to changes that can persist long after the cessation of drug use. Here are several reasons why it's not simply a matter of willpower to stop using drugs:

      Physical Dependence: Repeated drug use can lead to physical dependence, where the body adapts to the drug and requires it to function normally. Abruptly stopping the drug can lead to withdrawal symptoms, which can be uncomfortable or even dangerous, creating a compelling reason to continue using the drug.

      Changes in Brain Function: Drug use can disrupt critical brain areas involved in reward, motivation, learning, judgment, and memory. This can lead to intense cravings for the drug and impaired ability to resist drug use, even in the face of negative consequences.

      Co-occurring Mental Health Disorders: Many individuals with substance use disorders also have other mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder. These individuals may use drugs as a way to self-medicate, making it difficult to stop without treating the underlying condition.

      Environmental Factors: Social and environmental cues can trigger cravings and make it difficult to avoid substance use. This can include things like spending time with friends who use drugs, living in a stressful or chaotic environment, or even visiting places where they used to use drugs.

      Psychological Factors: Some individuals may use drugs to cope with stress, trauma, or other adverse experiences. Without healthier coping mechanisms and support, it can be very challenging to stop using drugs.

      It's essential to understand that addiction is a chronic disease, similar to diabetes or heart disease, and not a moral failing or lack of discipline. Just as with other chronic diseases, treatment often isn't a matter of simply deciding to stop. It usually involves medical intervention, behavioral therapies, and long-term support. With the right treatment and support, recovery from addiction is entirely possible.
