Behavioral Addictions We Treat
Sameem Behavioral Health specializes in behavioral addiction treatment services, providing dual diagnosis outpatient treatment near Newton Massachusetts for 40 years. We have experience recognizing and treating behavioral or process addictions. Process addictions are like substance addictions in that the individual is unable to stop or cut down on the behavior even though negative outcomes are occurring. However, unlike a substance addiction, a behavioral addiction produces a desirable high from dopamine and other hormones rather than from drugs or alcohol. Process addictions are often considered less seriousness than substance addictions, but in some cases they can be equally harmful to the individual and those around them. Process addictions are also harder to recognize as they lend themselves to easier concealment from family and friends

Dual Diagnosis Outpatient Treatment for
Co-Occurring Disorders
Behavioral addictions often appear alongside co-occurring disorders. Sameem is able to identify and treat process addictions on their own and when they are paired with one or more co-occurring disorders. If the root co-occurring disorder is not identified and treated then it will not be possible to truly address the addiction issue It can be empowering for some to understand that an underlying mental health issue is causing an addiction and can be a defining moment in their treatment that leads to their longer term healthy living.
