Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Altoona, KS.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Altoona comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more serious 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 to their treatment plan.
