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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Palo Alto comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
