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

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a drug and alcohol addiction along with an anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be struggling with depression due to 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 treatment strategy that will successfully address both at the same time so that individuals can live a sober and emotionally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Essex comes in. Having the person receive drug treatment at one facility and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate program is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug treatment programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is best for people with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals excel in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
