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 several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Westport comes in. Having the client receive addiction treatment services at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can treat 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 individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
