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 depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that individuals can live a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Albuquerque comes in. Having the person get substance abuse treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
