A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Dahlonega comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
