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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Adolphus comes in. Having someone get drug treatment at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
