Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Shelter Island, NY.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Shelter Island comes in. Having the client receive drug treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
