Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Winthrop, 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 combined with clinical depression. It could be many things all co-occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. A person 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 person is battling and come up with a rehabilitation strategy that will effectively address both concurrently so that the person can lead a drug-free and emotionally healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Winthrop comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse treatment services at one facility and then having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a different facility is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one program and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these individuals benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
