A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Riverside comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one center and then having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
