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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire 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 professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively treat both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Van Nuys comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
