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 disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully address both simultaneously so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Pittsfield 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 ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
