Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - New Portland, ME.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues 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 due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a treatment plan that will successfully address both simultaneously so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in New Portland comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more serious substance abuse issues 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.
