Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Houghton, NY.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Houghton comes in. Having the client get drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
