When addiction and mental health symptoms feed each other, recovery needs to address both. Dual diagnosis programs combine psychiatrists, therapists and addiction specialists in one coordinated plan.
Expect a careful assessment at intake, regular psychiatric visits and therapies like CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care.
What to expect
- Psychiatric care and medication management where needed
- A thorough intake that looks at mental health and substance use
- Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
- A coordinated aftercare plan

Florida resources for families
If a loved one refuses help and is a danger to themselves or others, Florida's Marchman Act lets families ask the court for involuntary assessment and treatment. Petitions for Pensacola residents are filed in Escambia County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Escambia County.
DCF notes that its provider search is not a quality rating and that being listed does not mean the department endorses or recommends a provider.

You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation.

See our Marchman Act guide for Escambia County.
