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 several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Sheridan comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
