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 could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Erie comes in. Having the client get addiction rehabilitation at one center and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
