Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Knoxville, GA.

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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Knoxville comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
