A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that individuals can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Cambridge comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment services at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
