Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Peaks Island, 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 an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Peaks Island comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
