Residential / inpatientDual diagnosisHow dual diagnosis treatment works
Dual diagnosis treatment treats a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD or bipolar disorder, at the same time and by the same team. Treating only one usually leaves the other to pull you back.
Residential dual diagnosis programs include psychiatric care and medication management alongside addiction therapy.
What to expect
- Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
- A coordinated aftercare plan
- Psychiatric care and medication management where needed
- Specialized tracks such as trauma, executive or holistic care

You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Florida, the Marchman Act also lets family members petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment when someone has lost control of their substance use and is a danger to themselves or others. See our Marchman Act guide for Polk County.
