A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could 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 need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both concurrently so that individuals can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Pittsburgh comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
