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 combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in San Fernando comes in. Having someone get addiction rehabilitation at one center and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients 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 constraints to their recovery.
