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 combined with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Sparks comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
