Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - East Boston, MA.

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 depression. It may be numerous things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently so that the person can live a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in East Boston comes in. Having the client get addiction treatment at one center and having to also receive help from a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for people with more serious substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
