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 may be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and come up with a rehabilitation plan that will successfully address both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Waterville comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is best for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
