A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Peter comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
