Anxiety and addiction are deeply connected, often making recovery harder.
Treating both together helps find the root cause, reduce relapses, and support lasting healing.
When it comes to treating a mental illness, a combined approach is not only important but necessary for recovery, especially for anxiety and addiction.
Someone experiencing anxiety may turn to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism, falling into a pattern of abusing these substances.
On the other hand, someone suffering from addiction may have higher levels of anxiety, as substances can alter the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.
