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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fredericksburg comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
