Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Whittemore, 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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Whittemore comes in. Having the person get drug rehabilitation at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
