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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Washington comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
