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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Amherst comes in. Having someone get drug treatment services at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
