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 combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Riverdale comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
