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 many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and psychologically healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Pottstown comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more severe 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 recovery.
