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 coupled with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively address both concurrently so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athens comes in. Having the person get drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
