A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Shreveport comes in. Having the person get substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
