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 combined with clinical depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Berkeley comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
