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 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 stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Montpelier comes in. Having the client get substance abuse treatment services at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
