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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all 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 need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Patchogue comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
