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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Lanham comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
