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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Galax comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
