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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, 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 anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires 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 treat both at the same time so that individuals can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Norristown comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment services at one center and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
