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 clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alcoa comes in. Having the person get addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
