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 clinical depression. It could be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully treat 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 Winthrop comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more serious 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 limits to their recovery.
