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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to 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 come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a drug-free and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Hartford comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. 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 limits to their recovery.
