Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Alton, AL.

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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be several 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 find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alton comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment at one center and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
