Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Auburn, AL.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Auburn comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
