Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Atlanta, NY.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Atlanta comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
