Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Old Westbury, NY.

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 clinical depression. It could be numerous things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Old Westbury comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
