Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Atlantic, 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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Atlantic comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment services at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
