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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Merrill comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
