Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Portland, PA.

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 clinical depression. It may be several things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their substance use. It often requires professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a rehabilitation strategy that will successfully address both concurrently so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Portland comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment services at one facility and then having to go to a mental health professional at a separate program isn't convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehabilitation is most effective for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
