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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Norfolk comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
