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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Okeechobee comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
