A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Wakefield comes in. Having someone get addiction treatment services at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
