Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Oakland, MD.

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 combined with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that individuals can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Oakland comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
