A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Newry comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
