Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Shirley, NY.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can live a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Shirley comes in. Having the client get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
