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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Bowie comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
