Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Owls Head, 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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be numerous things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will successfully treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Owls Head comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment services at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one facility and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
