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 may be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Jamaica comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
