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

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 depression. It may be many things all occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to self-medicate because of their anxiety or depression. Someone might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to ascertain the root causes of each of the issues the person is battling and work out a recovery strategy that will effectively resolve both concurrently 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 the client get addiction treatment services at one facility and having to also receive help from a mental health professional at a separate facility is not convenient or ideal. The most effective dual diagnosis drug rehab programs can treat both co-occurring disorders in one setting simultaneously. Long term inpatient rehab is most effective for clients with more serious 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 to their treatment plan.
