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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully address both simultaneously so that individuals can live a drug-free and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Allentown comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
