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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Philadelphia comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment services at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
