A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Points comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
