Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Guilderland, 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 many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Guilderland comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
