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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Salem comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
