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 depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Borrego Springs comes in. Having the person get drug treatment at one center and having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
