A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Iowa City comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
