A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Amarillo comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
