A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Elmira comes in. Having the client get drug treatment services at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
