A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be numerous things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Mount Vernon comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
