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 disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alexandria comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
