Mental health clinicDual diagnosisWhat dual diagnosis treatment involves
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
- A coordinated aftercare plan
- Individual therapy with smaller caseloads
- Psychiatric care and medication management where needed
- A thorough intake that looks at mental health and substance use
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 to ask
- How soon is the psychiatric evaluation?
- Who manages medications after discharge?
- Which conditions are treated on site?
