Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gardiner, 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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Gardiner comes in. Having the person get addiction rehabilitation at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
