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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Upper Jay comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
