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 combined with depression. It could be several 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 triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Cookeville comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
