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 coupled with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of 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 root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Putnam comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment at one center and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
