Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - River Forest, IL.

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 disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in River Forest comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
