Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - South Bristol, 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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be numerous things all co-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 self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively treat both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in South Bristol comes in. Having the person get addiction treatment at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
