Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lancaster, MA.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Lancaster comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
