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 co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both concurrently so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Brentwood comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
