Dual Diagnosis Treatment
for Bipolar Disorder and Addiction
Find freedom from the grip of bipolar disorder and addiction through Radix Recovery’s comprehensive treatment approach, where healing happens together.
The Link Between Bipolar Disorder & Addiction
When Bipolar Symptoms Fuel Addiction, We Light Your Path
Bipolar disorder and addiction often feed into each other, creating a devastating cycle that can feel impossible to break. Many people use substances to cope with extreme mood swings, only to find their bipolar symptoms intensify as a result.
Research shows that the risk of addiction to drugs is nearly doubled among people with bipolar disorder, with about 42% addicted to alcohol and 20% having problems with cannabis use.
At Radix Recovery, our dual diagnosis program in Cedar Rapids addresses both conditions simultaneously, providing the comprehensive care needed for lasting recovery.

FAQ
Your Recovery Questions Answered
Making decisions about treatment shouldn’t be complicated. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about our dual diagnosis programs.
What causes bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder develops due to a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Imbalances in brain chemicals, family history, traumatic experiences, and chronic stress can all contribute to its onset. While no single cause has been identified, these factors together can trigger mood instability and extreme emotional shifts.
Is bipolar disorder a disability?
Bipolar disorder is recognized as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if it significantly impairs daily functioning. Individuals with severe symptoms may qualify for workplace accommodations or disability benefits. Proper treatment and support can help many people manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
How common is bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder affects approximately 2.8% of adults in the United States, with men and women experiencing it at similar rates. It typically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood, though symptoms can emerge at any age. Many people with bipolar disorder also struggle with co-occurring conditions, such as substance use disorders.
How to help someone with bipolar disorder?
Helping someone with bipolar disorder involves patience, education, and encouragement. Helping them stay consistent with treatment, recognizing mood changes, and providing emotional support can make a significant difference. Encouraging healthy routines, stress management, and professional care can also improve their stability and well-being.
How do I know if I have bipolar disorder?
If you experience extreme mood swings, periods of high energy followed by deep depression, or changes in sleep and behavior, you may have bipolar disorder. Other signs include impulsive decision-making during manic episodes and difficulty maintaining relationships or work stability. A professional evaluation is essential for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
