A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse 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 drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Lancaster comes in. Having someone get addiction treatment at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
