Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - South Boston, MA.

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 coupled with clinical depression. It could be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a recovery plan that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in South Boston comes in. Having the person receive addiction treatment at one center and having the person go to a mental health professional at a separate facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for clients with more severe addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints to their treatment plan.
