Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Atlanta, IN.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could 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 depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Atlanta comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment services at one center and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
