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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a treatment strategy 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 Long Beach comes in. Having the person get substance abuse treatment at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
