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

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse 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 certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Walford comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
