Dual Diagnosis Rehab Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Portland, NY.

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 disorder, or a gambling addiction combined with clinical depression. It may be numerous things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their need to self-medicate because of their depression or anxiety. Someone might be suffering from depression due to their substance use. It takes a team of specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the person is struggling with and come up with a recovery strategy that will effectively address both simultaneously so that the person can live a clean and sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.

This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Portland comes in. Having someone receive addiction treatment services at one facility and then having the person also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug treatment facilities can address both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for individuals with more advanced substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients excel in an environment where they are fully immersed and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
