Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sharptown, 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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the issues the person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Sharptown comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and then having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
