Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ashland, 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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully treat both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ashland comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
