Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Merrill, IA.

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 coupled with depression. It may be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Merrill comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
