A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Silver Spring comes in. Having the client get drug treatment at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
