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 coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain 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. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Mayo comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
