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
- Clinicians trained in both addiction and mental health
- Ongoing support after discharge
- Therapies such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care
- Wellness services like fitness, nutrition and mindfulness

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
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 St. Lucie County.
