Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - East Point, GA.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in East Point comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment services at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
