What 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

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

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

• How soon is the psychiatric evaluation?
• How often will I see a psychiatric provider?
• Who manages medications after discharge?
