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 depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Topanga comes in. Having the client get drug treatment services at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
