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

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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered 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 often requires professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a recovery plan that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Durham comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one center and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for clients with more serious addictions 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.
