A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Springfield Gardens comes in. Having someone get drug treatment at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
