Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Nikiski, AK.

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 could be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Nikiski comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
