Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Albans, ME.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in St. Albans comes in. Having the client get drug treatment services at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for clients with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
