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 could be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Mount Vernon comes in. Having the client receive drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
