A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively treat both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Independence comes in. Having someone receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
