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.
Dual diagnosis treatment in Florida
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses addiction and a mental health condition at the same time, with one coordinated team. Federal health agencies recommend integrated care because each condition can drive the other, and treating only one often leads to relapse.
Residential dual diagnosis programs in Florida include psychiatric evaluation, medication management and therapies such as CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care alongside addiction treatment. Florida's Marchman Act also recognizes substance use disorder with a co-occurring mental health disorder in its criteria for involuntary services.
