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 combined with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that individuals can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athens comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
