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 coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Krotz Springs comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
