Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Oakland, TX.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Oakland comes in. Having someone receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
