A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Kodiak comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
