What is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis refers to when someone experiences both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder at the same time. This can include combinations like depression and alcohol addiction, anxiety and drug use, or bipolar disorder alongside opioid dependence.
Without proper dual diagnosis treatment, individuals may find it difficult to fully heal, as untreated mental health conditions can often fuel substance abuse, and vice versa. That’s why our program focuses on addressing both issues simultaneously, giving clients the best chance at lasting recovery.
