Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Winter Harbor, 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 coupled with clinical depression. It could be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, 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 due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively resolve both simultaneously so that individuals can lead a sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Winter Harbor comes in. Having the person receive drug rehabilitation at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is best for people with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits to their treatment plan.
