Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Huntsville, TN.

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 clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Huntsville comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
