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 coupled with clinical depression. It could be several 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 stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a recovery plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Rome comes in. Having the client get drug treatment services at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
