A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Oakdale comes in. Having the person get drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
