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 clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a treatment plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Elkton comes in. Having the client get addiction rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
