A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues 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 often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Catalina comes in. Having someone receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
