Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ringgold, GA.

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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ringgold comes in. Having the person get drug treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
