Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Athens, AL.

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 could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athens comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
