Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Skippers, VA.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Skippers comes in. Having someone get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
