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 may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Kansas City comes in. Having the person get substance abuse treatment services at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
