Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Washington, 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 depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Washington comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
