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 clinical depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Augusta comes in. Having the client receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
