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 coupled with depression. It could be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively address both concurrently so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Thayer comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
