Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oxford, MD.

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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Oxford comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment services at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
