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 coupled with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with certain disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For instance, someone's alcohol abuse might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. Someone might be struggling with depression due to their drug or alcohol use. It often requires specialists to determine the root causes of each of the disorders the individual is struggling with and work out a treatment strategy that will successfully resolve both at the same time so that individuals can lead a drug-free and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fort Fairfield comes in. Having someone get drug treatment services at one center and having to go to a mental health specialist at a different program isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol recovery programs can work on both co-occurring disorders in one program simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is most effective for clients with more severe substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in a setting where they are fully immersed and where there are no time constraints to their recovery.
