A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Amsterdam comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
