A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could 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 alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Cherokee comes in. Having someone get drug treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
