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 clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues 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 suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Brooklyn comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
