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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ridgewood comes in. Having the person receive drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more serious 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.
