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 simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Augusta comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
