A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Oxford comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
