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
- Private or semi-private rooms in many programs
- Ongoing support after discharge
- Clinicians trained in both addiction and mental health
- Therapies such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care

Frequently asked questions
How do I get into dual diagnosis treatment near Merritt Island?
Most admissions start with a phone call. A specialist asks a few questions about substance use, health and insurance, then helps you find a program with an opening. Many residential programs in Florida can admit someone within a day or two once insurance is verified.
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
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 Brevard County.
What conditions does dual diagnosis treatment cover?
Common pairings include addiction with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder or ADHD. Programs assess both at intake and treat them together.
Do dual diagnosis programs prescribe medication?
Yes. Residential dual diagnosis programs include psychiatric providers who can prescribe and manage medications for mental health conditions.
