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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled 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 instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Portland comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment at one center and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
