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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance 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 rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Simons Island comes in. Having the person get addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
