A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering 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 due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Duluth comes in. Having the person receive drug rehabilitation at one center and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
