A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Sunapee comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
