Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - West Elkton, OH.

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 combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, 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 substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Elkton comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. 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 an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
