Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Treating Addiction and Mental Health Togetherfloridarehab.net
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 one coordinated team. Federal health agencies recommend treating co-occurring conditions together rather than one at a time.
Why it matters
Many people with a substance use disorder also have a mental health condition, and each can make the other worse. Treating only the addiction can leave untreated depression or anxiety to drive relapse; treating only the mental health condition can miss the substance use that undermines it.
What residential dual diagnosis care includes
- A full psychiatric and substance use assessment at intake
- Psychiatric care and medication management
- Therapies such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused therapy
- Coordination between therapists, psychiatrists and medical staff
- Discharge plans that include ongoing mental health care
