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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the individual is battling and work out a treatment plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and psychologically healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Damariscotta comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
