Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fort Edward, 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 clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fort Edward comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
