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

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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It could be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain 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. A person might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Falmouth comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one center and then having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery facilities can address 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 on their rehabilitation.
