A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Buffalo comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
