Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Norfolk, CT.

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 coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully address both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Norfolk comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
