A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fairfax comes in. Having someone get drug treatment at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
