A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully resolve both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Amherst comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
