Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elwood, IL.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Elwood comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment services at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
