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 an 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 issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated 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 takes a team of professionals to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Petersburg comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
