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 coupled with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need 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 discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Gaithersburg comes in. Having the person get drug rehabilitation at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
