Dual Diagnosis Drug Rehab Establishing an accurate diagnosis for patients in drug addiction and mental health settings is an important and aspect necessary for the treatment process. Professionals must discriminate between acute primary psychiatric disorders and psychiatric symptoms caused by Alcohol and Other Drugs (AODs). To do so, professionals must obtain a thorough history of AOD use and psychiatric symptoms and disorders from the patient.

these symptoms are usually related to the type, dose, and chronicity of
the AOD use. Drug rehab is not something that one should undertake
on one's own. Proper and permanent rehab requires careful and
systematic treatment and regular follow-up
