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 coupled with clinical depression. It could be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Smithtown comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment services at one center and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
