Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wiscasset, 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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires specialists to determine the causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and work out a treatment plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can live a sober and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Wiscasset comes in. Having someone receive drug rehabilitation at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
