Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Faulkner, MD.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Faulkner comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
