Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment will include treatment for your mental health condition and your substance use disorder at the same time. You'll work with your healthcare provider to understand the ways each of your disorders affects the other. This will help you determine which treatment will be most effective.

For you to achieve a dual diagnosis recovery, you must stop using the addictive substance. For many people, this may start with detoxification. During inpatient detoxification, healthcare providers will monitor you 24 hours a day for up to a week. They’ll help you wean off the substance and provide ways to lessen the effects of withdrawal.
