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 may be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism 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 professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can live a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Port Townsend comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
