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 clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that individuals can live a drug-free and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in South Lake Tahoe comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
