A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully address both concurrently so that individuals can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Harrisburg comes in. Having the client get addiction rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
