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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Vancouver comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
