A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that individuals can live a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Houlton comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility isn't ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for individuals 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 constraints to their recovery.
