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 many 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 find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that individuals can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Olmstead comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
