Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Owls Head, NY.

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 or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be several things all co-occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their anxiety or depression. A person might be suffering from depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires professionals to discover the root causes of each of the issues the person is struggling with and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively address both at the same time so that the person can lead a clean and sober and psychologically healthy life.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Owls Head comes in. Having the client receive addiction rehabilitation at one facility and then having to go to a mental health specialist at a different facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is recommended for people with more serious addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting which is full immersion and where there are no time limits to their recovery.
