Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alexandria, MO.

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 disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alexandria comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
