Addiction and Depression Treatment Center in Texas
On average, one in every five Americans suffers from a mental health condition. It’s estimated that depression accounts for over 60% of these conditions, with many of those affected by depression left misdiagnosed or untreated.
At Cypress Lake Recovery, we understand that depression is often overlooked, misinterpreted or simply misunderstood. But if you struggle with depression, it can affect everything in your life. When you are dealing with oppressive negative feelings every day for an extended period of time, it can be impossible to get out of bed in the morning. Taking care of day-to-day responsibilities can feel impossible.
Some people develop depression as an effect of substance abuse, but others have depression disorders based on their genetic background. At Cypress Lake Recovery in Texas, we know that depression is a serious condition that can only get worse when it occurs alongside addiction. Whether you experienced the effects of depression before the onset of addiction or it developed alongside substance abuse, we are here to help you solve the problem.
What is Depression?
Depression is a mental health condition that is described as a chemical imbalance in the brain resulting in feelings of isolation, hopelessness and sadness for weeks, months or years at a time. Those affected by depression are often not able to enjoy life because there is a dark cloud looming over everything, even the simplest moments. Depression is considered a serious mental illness that should be addressed and treated as soon as possible. Undiagnosed depression poses a serious risk to the health and life of anyone who has it. Despite being a treatable condition, it is one of the leading causes of suicide in the United States.
For Family Members and Friends:
Depression can be frightening for people, but it’s important to remember that it doesn’t just go away with time. It’s a mental health condition based in a chemical imbalance in the brain. Knowing this may help a family member or friend understand what your loved one is going through. The anxiety and stress associated when depression can become so crippling that it takes over thoughts, actions, and behavior.
When you notice signs of depression in your loved one, encouraging them to get help is the best thing for them. They can’t do it alone, and the journey to recovery can require patience from loved ones who surround them. Contacting a depression treatment program could save their life and get them back on track to being mentally healthy.

Depression and the brain
The process of depression can be so complex that many people simply live with their symptoms, not fully understanding that their day-to-day sadness is a treatable disease. If you think that you or your loved one might be struggling with depression, there are some signs you can watch for. Changes from depression often occur in three main areas: physical, cognitive and social.
Changes that may take place due to depression:
PHYSICAL
Depression can become detrimental to physical health when daily necessities like eating, exercising, sleeping and hygiene are neglected. Someone with depression may not eat enough, eat too much, or might eat in ignorance of nutrition. Insomnia or lethargy often accompany depression. Energy levels are often lowered. Those with depression tend to shy away from leaving the house or getting any kind of physical activity. Overall, someone struggling with depression is likely to experience noticeable physical changes as their illness progresses.
COGNITIVE
Lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, and thinking negatively are all signs of clinical depression. This can be particularly noticeable in someone who used to be energetic or upbeat. Cognitive changes such as these can cause issues with family members and friends, because channels of communication are closed and nothing seems to be getting through to the affected person. When a person feels depressed, your entire thought process changes — you are no longer able to make the best of situations, enjoy happy moments or “find the silver lining” in difficult situations. This aspect of depression often has the unfortunate effect of pushing people away, because it can be difficult for other people to be around constant negativity. In truth, the depressed person needs more support than ever. But it can be frustrating for loved ones who want to help but can’t seem to be able to make any difference in the person’s life.
SOCIAL
One of the most noticeable ways that depression can change a person is in regards to their personality and attitude. People who were once happy and outgoing may become withdrawn and become disinterested in being around others. Isolation is a major factor in depression, since being around people enjoying themselves can be hard for a depressed person to bear. Relationships may suffer because connections with friends and family are cut off, and the depressed person may feel that they cannot show up emotionally for others. Those suffering from depression may feel disconnected to the people around them, so it’s often easier for them to cut off communication altogether. If you notice a drastic personality change in yourself or other people, it might be time to talk to a professional about how to get help.

Pamela
The program at Cypress Lake Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Cypress Lake Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Cypress Lake Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

Education and Application
In our treatment programs, we encourage our patients to take a step back and understand their feelings, moods, and behaviors. We ask them to notice the differences inside themselves when they feel depressed and when they don’t; these observations help them understand the symptoms of depression and how they experience their illness. These exercises also allow our staff to compassionately understand where each person comes from, so that we can provide treatment that works on an individual level. We meet you where you are when you begin any recovery program, because the first steps are often the hardest.
When we treat depression with counseling and other socially integrating activities, we work to help patients find hope and learn that their addiction does not need to be their first and only method of dealing with their depression. Depending on the severity of the addiction, we craft a individualized treatment plan that begins with medical detox. After detox, we pair our patients with a counselor that will work with them on these concerns.
Dual Diagnosis Counseling and Therapy
At Cypress Lake Recovery, our skilled medical teams come together to create custom treatment plans that work to treat both depression and any concurrent addiction. Our staff is uniquely qualified to treat patients with both a mental health disorder and an addiction. This is known as dual diagnosis, this situation is incredibly common due to the interplay between substance abuse and the brain.
If you struggle with a mental health disorder (like depression) while also fighting an addiction, it is necessary to treat both illnesses to achieve sustainable recovery and sobriety. Our approach to treating depression and addiction blends psychotherapy and holistic treatments to address both concerns and give you long-lasting tools that can be used beyond our programs. Our counseling approach teaches our patients to be aware of themselves and to be accountable for their actions. Then, we can pinpoint where the addiction stems from so we can treat it completely.
Addiction and Depression Counseling
We offer a selection of integrative therapies that allow each patient the ability to express themselves in a safe environment. Our counselors are skilled in treating depression. We work to help individuals find ways to live without addictive substances, because they can turn to other life-enriching activities and coping mechanisms that allow them to better enjoy life.
