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 several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Biddeford comes in. Having someone get drug rehabilitation at one center and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
