Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Portsmouth, IA.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, 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 because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully address both simultaneously so that individuals can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Portsmouth comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
