Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment Services in Massachusetts

Co-Occurring Disorders We Treat

At Sameem Behavioral Health, we have been providing dual diagnosis outpatient treatment near our offices in Newton Massachusetts and treating clients with co-occurring disorders for 40 years. We understand that addictions are often the result of untreated underlying mental health issues, and that those underlying issues often cause other, apparently unrelated problems. That is why we don't treat only the symptom of addiction – we also help patients identify and address root causes and co-occurring disorders. This is how we have earned our reputation as one of the top dual diagnosis treatment centers in Massachusetts.

This is similar to our physical health: We are all familiar with scenarios in our physical health when one physical problem causes several other seemingly unrelated symptoms. For example, a thyroid dysfunction may disrupt the body’s metabolism and energy regulation, leading to both unexplained weight changes and chronic fatigue.  Treating the weight problem alone, then, will be difficult unless the cause is diagnosed and addressed. Similarly, when we treat alcoholism and addiction, it is common to encounter co-occurring mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or stress alongside the substance use disorder. Both instances illustrate how one underlying problem can manifest in multiple, seemingly distinct ways, complicating diagnosis and treatment.  And in both cases, it is important to treat the symptoms with understanding, without blame, and with an optimistic approach that envisions a future of successfully managing life without the acute symptoms that currently inhibit long-term healthy living.
