A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Tallahassee comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
