There can be no successful addiction treatment program that does not confront and mitigate a patient’s social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety is that state in which victims are subject to acute emotional distress in social situations. Social phobia is strongly correlated to substance abuse, as many social phobics turn to drugs and alcohol as a means of coping with their condition. What that means, of course, is that no social phobic can expect to get sober for good without first getting healed on a psychological level. Anything less is a recipe for failure.
The good news is that successful dual diagnosis at addiction treatment centers really can change lives. The only catch is that patients have to give it a chance. If you’re an addict suffering from social anxiety disorder, healing can’t start until you let it. For your own sake, for the sake of the people you care about…let today be the day you make the right choice. You will never, ever, regret it.
