A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to 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 rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Brazil comes in. Having the person receive drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
