Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Anxiety and Addiction
At Radix Recovery, we understand that anxiety and addiction often go hand in hand, which is why our specialized dual diagnosis treatment program addresses both conditions simultaneously.
Understanding Co-Occurring Anxiety and Substance Use
Two challenges, one comprehensive solution.
Anxiety and substance use disorders frequently exist together, creating a complex cycle that can be difficult to break. Many individuals turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate their anxiety symptoms, finding temporary relief that ultimately leads to increased anxiety and dependency. This cycle continues as substance use alters brain chemistry, intensifying anxiety symptoms and creating a stronger perceived need for substances.
Breaking this cycle requires addressing both conditions simultaneously. Treating anxiety without addressing addiction, or vice versa, often leads to relapse as the untreated condition triggers the other. At Radix Recovery, our dual diagnosis approach ensures that both your anxiety and substance use are treated together, giving you the best chance at lasting recovery.

How is our Anxiety Dual-Diagnosis Therapy Different

Signs You May Need Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Anxiety
Recognize the signs, embrace the change
When anxiety and addiction overlap, you might notice yourself needing substances to face social situations or manage daily stress. Physical symptoms of anxiety may intensify during withdrawal, while relationships suffer from mood swings and isolation. If you’re constantly toggling between substance use and overwhelming worry, it’s time to consider dual diagnosis treatment.
Why Treating Anxiety and Addiction Together Works Better
By addressing both conditions simultaneously, you’ll develop genuine coping skills instead of relying on substances. Our comprehensive approach leads to better sleep, improved relationships, and reduced risk of relapse. You’ll gain the tools to manage anxiety naturally while building a strong foundation for lasting sobriety
