A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can live a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Tahoe Vista comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more severe addictions 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.
