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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Opelousas comes in. Having the client get drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
