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 several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully address both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Bakersfield comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one center and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
