Mental health serviceDual 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
- Wellness services like fitness, nutrition and mindfulness
- Ongoing support after discharge
- Private or semi-private rooms in many programs
- Clinicians trained in both addiction and mental health
