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 combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively treat both concurrently so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Amherst comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
