Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lincoln, 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 combined with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated 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 takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Lincoln comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
