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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many 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 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 specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Haven comes in. Having the client get drug treatment at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
