The Complete Reset with Dr. Quinton Moss

Welcome back to The Complete Reset with Dr. Quinton Moss. In our last episode, we explored how addiction is a brain-based condition and why today’s substances have made recovery more complex. This time, we’re taking things a step further by diving into the world of dual diagnosis, the intersection where substance use and mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar disorder collide. These are not isolated struggles; they often feed into each other, making recovery much more challenging when they’re treated separately.In this episode, we unpack what dual diagnosis truly means, why integrated care is essential, and how treating the whole person not just one symptom can open the door to real, lasting recovery. Dr. Moss shares clinical insights, explains the neurobiology behind co-occurring disorders, and highlights why coordination among providers is key. We’ll also talk about the powerful role childhood trauma plays, the importance of holistic and personalized treatment plans, and why tackling both addiction and mental health together gives people their best shot at a complete reset.Let’s get into it.00:00 Substance use and mental health connection06:30 Addressing substance use and mental health10:24 Challenges in holistic client care11:41 Addressing mental health and addiction14:47 How therapy and meds stabilize brain21:12 Starting patient care conversations25:01 Customizing treatment with therapy and meds26:37 Factors influencing recovery and care31:37 Connecting mental health and recoveryPodcast's Website - https://thecompleteresetpodcast.com/Dr. Quinton Moss - https://thecompleteresetpodcast.com/aboutDr. Quinton Moss' Clinic - https://mpwhealth.com/Dr. Quinton Moss LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/quinton-moss-md-86a336149/Podcast Partner - https://tophealth.care/
