Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Old Orchard Beach, 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 a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Old Orchard Beach comes in. Having the person receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one center and then having the person go to a mental health professional at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best 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 to their recovery.
