Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Athol Springs, NY.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to discover the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Athol Springs comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
