Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bar Harbor, ME.

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 combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a recovery plan that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Bar Harbor comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
