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

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Augusta comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more advanced 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.
