Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Southport, ME.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a treatment plan that will effectively treat both simultaneously so that individuals can live a drug-free and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Southport comes in. Having the person receive drug rehabilitation at one center and having the person go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for individuals with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
