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 several things all occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will effectively resolve both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in South Portland comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
