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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Elko comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
