Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Washington, 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 could be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Washington comes in. Having the person get drug treatment services at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
