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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in San Rafael comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment services at one center and having to go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
