Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Northwood, 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 clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Northwood comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
