Mental health clinicDual diagnosisWhat dual diagnosis treatment involves
When addiction and mental health symptoms feed each other, recovery needs to address both. Dual diagnosis programs combine psychiatrists, therapists and addiction specialists in one coordinated plan.
Expect a careful assessment at intake, regular psychiatric visits and therapies like CBT, DBT and trauma-focused care.
What to expect
- Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
- A coordinated aftercare plan
- A thorough intake that looks at mental health and substance use
- Psychiatric care and medication management where needed
Before you choose dual diagnosis treatment
Texas rules call dual diagnosis COPSD, for co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders, and require screening, assessment and treatment to stay connected for each client. NIDA's research finds that treating both conditions together generally works best.
Questions worth asking
- How soon is the psychiatric evaluation?
- How often will I see a psychiatric provider?
- Who manages medications after discharge?
