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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that individuals can live a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alamogordo comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment services at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
