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 could be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Dobbs Ferry comes in. Having someone get addiction treatment at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
