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 coupled with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from 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 causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Lafayette comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment at one center and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
