A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar 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 issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fort Walton Beach comes in. Having the person get substance abuse treatment at one center and then having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
