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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully resolve both at the same time so that individuals can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Johnston comes in. Having the client get drug treatment at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities 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 serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
