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 clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alamosa comes in. Having someone get drug treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
