Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Portola Valley, CA.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Portola Valley comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
