Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Sarasota, Florida

If you're unsure whether you need residential care, detox or something else, that's a normal place to start. A short, confidential call can point you in the right direction.

What dual diagnosis treatment involves

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

• Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
• A thorough intake that looks at mental health and substance use
• A coordinated aftercare plan
• Specialized tracks such as trauma, executive or holistic care
