Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Anthony, IA.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that the person can live a drug-free and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Anthony comes in. Having someone get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
