Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Deer Isle, ME.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Deer Isle comes in. Having the person get drug treatment at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
