Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Blanchard, 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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Blanchard comes in. Having the person get drug treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
