Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Washougal, WA.

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 coupled with depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating 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 suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Washougal comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more severe 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 treatment plan.
