A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Middlesex comes in. Having the person get substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
