Applied behavior analysis therapistDual diagnosisHow dual diagnosis treatment works
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
- Ongoing support after discharge
- Private or semi-private rooms in many programs
- Wellness services like fitness, nutrition and mindfulness
- Therapies such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care

Does insurance cover dual diagnosis treatment in Florida?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care, under federal parity rules. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
