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 combined with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues 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 suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in New Bedford comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
