Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Independence, KY.

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 depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will successfully treat both concurrently so that the person can lead a sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Independence comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more severe 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.
