A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical 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 alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Johnson City comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
