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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be many things all 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 anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in San Mateo comes in. Having the person get drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
