Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Helen, 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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Helen comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
