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 depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a recovery plan that will successfully address both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Upland comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment services at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more severe substance abuse issues 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.
