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

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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that individuals can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Kennebunkport comes in. Having someone get drug treatment services at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
