Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Scottdale, PA.

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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Scottdale comes in. Having the client get drug treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more serious 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 to their treatment plan.
