Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Waterford, 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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Waterford comes in. Having the client get drug treatment at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate facility isn't convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
