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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athens comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
