Co-occurring disorders are common: many people in addiction treatment also live with a mental health condition. Integrated dual diagnosis programs look at both from day one rather than sending you to separate providers.
If you have been treated for one condition while the other was ignored, a dual diagnosis program may be the missing piece.
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
