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 coupled with clinical depression. It could be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Riverhead comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
