Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Athens, MI.

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 may be several 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. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athens comes in. Having the person receive drug rehabilitation at one center and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
