Co-occurring disorders are common: many people in addiction treatment also live with a mental health condition. Integrated dual diagnosis programs look at both from day one rather than sending you to separate providers.
If you have been treated for one condition while the other was ignored, a dual diagnosis program may be the missing piece.
What to expect
- Clinicians trained in both addiction and mental health
- Therapies such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care
- Ongoing support after discharge
- Private or semi-private rooms in many programs
