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

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 depression. It may be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Petersburg comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
