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 combined with depression. It could be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully treat both concurrently so that individuals can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in New Canaan comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for individuals with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
