Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - St. Ansgar, 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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems 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. Someone might be struggling with 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 recovery strategy that will effectively treat both concurrently so that individuals can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Ansgar comes in. Having someone get drug treatment at one center and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
