Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Skagway, AK.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Skagway comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
