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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Worthington comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment at one center and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program 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 clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
