Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Altoona, IA.

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 could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Altoona comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
