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 combined with clinical depression. It may be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Arlington comes in. Having the client receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
