Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Howard, GA.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Howard comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment services at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more severe 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 limits to their treatment plan.
