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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to discover the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will successfully resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Dunkirk comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
