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

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 coupled with depression. It may be many 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 need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will effectively treat both concurrently so that individuals can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Nikolai comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
