Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Ann, MO.

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 coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Ann comes in. Having someone get substance abuse rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
