Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Spencer, MA.

A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be triggered by their desire to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of professionals to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a treatment plan that will effectively treat both concurrently so that the person can lead a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Spencer comes in. Having someone receive substance abuse treatment at one facility and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more serious substance abuse issues 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.
