Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Alden, NY.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Alden comes in. Having the client get drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
