How 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

• Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
• A coordinated aftercare plan
• Specialized tracks such as trauma, executive or holistic care
• Psychiatric care and medication management where needed

What Texas rules mean for 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.

What to ask a program

• Who manages medications after discharge?
• How soon is the psychiatric evaluation?
• Which conditions are treated on site?
