Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - West Baldwin, 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 a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It may be many things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that individuals can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in West Baldwin comes in. Having the person receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
