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 clinical 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 stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Macon comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
