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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully address both concurrently so that individuals can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Houma comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
