Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ashland, LA.

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 clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ashland comes in. Having the client receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
