Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ashland, ME.

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Ashland comes in. Having someone get substance abuse treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
