A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be numerous things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Toronto comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
