Many of those struggling with substance use disorders also suffer from an underlying mental health condition. We offer psychiatric treatment to address the person's addiction and the co-occurring mental health disorder*. Dual Diagnosis treatment stems from the awareness that treating these conditions separately is often ineffective and may be even dangerous. We will create an individualized care plan for you that treats all conditions simultaneously so you can have a full and lasting recovery.
Dual diagnosis is key to true recovery because addiction, in its essence, have roots that are more likely related to trauma, anxiety, depression, biochemical imbalances, and the person's attempts to regulate and relieve his or her own level of emotional and/or physical pain.
*Common co-occurring mental health conditions found present with an addiction may include: Depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Eating Disorders and Schizophrenia
