A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fort Dodge comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not 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 best for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
