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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be several 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 self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a treatment plan that will successfully treat both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Hickory comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
