A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, 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 because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athens comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
