A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated 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 ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Sussex comes in. Having the client get drug rehabilitation at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
