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 many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular 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. 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 issues the person is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Kingston comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
