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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to 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 rehabilitation plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Wheeling comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
