Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Point Lookout, 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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully resolve both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Point Lookout comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment at one center and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
