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

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both concurrently so that individuals can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Whiteford comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or 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 rehabilitation is most effective for people with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
