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

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Iowa comes in. Having someone get addiction rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
