A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be an occurrence of both a substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar or anxiety disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be numerous things all co-occurring at the same time, with particular disorders making other issues worse or even triggering them. For instance, someone's alcoholism might be stimulated by their desire to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be struggling with depression because of their drug or alcohol use. It takes a team of specialists to ascertain the causes of each of the disorders the individual is battling and work out a recovery plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that individuals can lead a sober and mentally healthy life.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Kennebunk comes in. Having the client receive substance abuse rehabilitation at one facility and having the person also receive help from a mental health specialist at a separate program is not ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can address both co-occurring disorders in one facility simultaneously. Long term inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time constraints on their rehabilitation.
