Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thornton, 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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Thornton comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment services at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
