Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fortuna, ND.

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 combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fortuna comes in. Having the person get addiction rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
