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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. 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 individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Watertown comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
