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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can live a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Malvern comes in. Having someone receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
