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

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a drug-free and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Caratunk comes in. Having someone get addiction treatment at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
