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 particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ottumwa comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment services at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
