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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully address both at the same time so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Springfield comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
