Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - New Hope, PA.

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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in New Hope comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
