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 coupled with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Astoria comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
