A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of 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 work out a recovery plan that will successfully resolve both concurrently so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ghent 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 is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
