Mental health clinicDual diagnosisWhat dual diagnosis treatment involves
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
- Specialized tracks such as trauma, executive or holistic care
- Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
- A thorough intake that looks at mental health and substance use
- Psychiatric care and medication management where needed
