Treatment centers that are equipped to deal with such guests have a remarkably high success rate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dual diagnosis defined<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Also known as co-occurring disorders, dual diagnosis refers to someone who has a substance abuse problem along with mental health issues. Either condition may happen first. That is, a person with a dual diagnosis may start out with a drug problem that becomes worsened by mental illness. Conversely, a person with mental illness may develop drug issues as a way of self-medicating or making themselves feel better, explains the National Alliance on Mental Illness. It&#8217;s quite common, but not every rehab facility is a dual diagnosis treatment center.<\/p>\n<p>Dual diagnosis treatment centers such as America&#8217;s Rehab Campus in Arizona, California, Texas, and Louisiana have the money to integrate care for both mental issues and addiction problems effectively. For a person with mental issues and drug addiction or alcoholism, this is truly the kindest treatment option as well as the most effective.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_tMLuTvA5jP8\"><div id=\"lyte_tMLuTvA5jP8\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.americasrehabcampuses.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FtMLuTvA5jP8%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tMLuTvA5jP8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.americasrehabcampuses.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FtMLuTvA5jP8%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Symptoms of dual diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Because such a variety of combinations can occur, the symptoms of dual diagnosis vary widely. Mental health centers now screen clients to identify people at risk for a dual diagnosis of drug or alcohol abuse. Typical symptoms of addiction include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Withdrawal from family, friends, and co-workers<\/li>\n<li>Sudden and extreme changes in behavior or appearance<\/li>\n<li>Using or drinking under dangerous conditions<\/li>\n<li>Engaging in high-risk behaviors<\/li>\n<li>Lack of control<\/li>\n<li>Ever increasing tolerance<\/li>\n<li>Withdrawal symptoms when going without drugs or drink<\/li>\n<li>Feeling that you need to drink or take drugs to be able to function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Mental health warning signs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Extreme and sudden mood changes<\/li>\n<li>Problems concentrating<\/li>\n<li>Confused thinking<\/li>\n<li>Avoidance of friends and social activities<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts of self-harm or suicide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are by no means the only signs of substance abuse or mental health issues. If two or more occur together, however, it&#8217;s a good time to speak to someone at one of the licensed dual diagnosis treatment centers in this area.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dual diagnosis treatment options<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>Detoxification<\/em> is an all-important first step on the road to recovery, and it&#8217;s best accomplished on an inpatient basis. Trained medical staff will monitor the patient 24\/7 and administer tapering doses or a replacement medication to relieve the worst parts of withdrawal. After that, inpatient therapy can begin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Psychotherapy<\/em> plays a large part in the care provided at dual diagnosis treatment centers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT can be quite useful in helping a person who checks in for rehab and concurrent mental health services. Mental health therapies help the patient discover and cope with the causes of their substance abuse issues.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most highly respected dual diagnosis treatment centers in Tucson can be found at 6944 E. Tanque Verde Road.
