Postpartum depression affects around 600,000 women per year, and these cases are more than temporary melancholy or “baby blues.” They represent a persistent and severe set of symptoms for which many women attempt to self-medicate using alcohol or other drugs. Unfortunately, this behavior can lead to dependency and worsening depression. Data from Duke University indicates that new mothers with postpartum depression (PPD) may be at high risk for substance use. If you or someone you care about is struggling with co-occurring PPD and substance use, there are treatment rehab facilities that can help you get your peace of mind back.
How Can Rehab Help with PPD?
Rehab offers a variety of therapeutic resources to help with all types of depression. These include group therapy, individualized counseling, and supplemental therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and even transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy. These modalities are designed to help treat underlying depression while you focus on getting immediate help for substance use disorder. Whether you need help with alcohol addiction or drug dependency, there is a program out there for you.
