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
- Psychiatric care and medication management where needed
- Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
- A coordinated aftercare plan
- A thorough intake that looks at mental health and substance use
