Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Shawmut, 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 clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to discover the causes of each of the issues the individual is struggling with and come up with a treatment strategy that will successfully treat both simultaneously so that the person can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Shawmut comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
