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 could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both concurrently so that the person can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Christiansburg comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people 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 constraints on their rehabilitation.
