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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated 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 professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a recovery plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in The Dalles comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
