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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that individuals can live a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Abingdon comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
