Conditions We Treat

Dual diagnosis,treated as one whole person.

When a mental health condition and substance use exist together, treating one without the other rarely works. We treat them at the same time, in the same room, by the same team.

Understanding dual diagnosis

Two conditions, one life,one integrated plan.

Dual diagnosis — sometimes called co-occurring disorders — describes the simultaneous presence of a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. The two are deeply linked: each can cause, maintain, or worsen the other.

Sequential treatment, where one is addressed only after the other, often fails. Our integrated approach treats both at once with one coordinated team — psychiatrist, therapist, and recovery support — meeting weekly to keep your care unified.

Signs & Symptoms

When mental healthand substance use intersect.

Dual diagnosis can develop in either direction — substance use that masks anxiety, depression, or trauma; or substances introduced to manage symptoms that have grown unbearable.

01

Mental health side

  • Anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, or OCD symptoms
  • Difficulty regulating emotion or impulse
  • Sleep, appetite, and concentration changes
  • Withdrawal from work, family, or community
  • Hopelessness or thoughts of self-harm
02

Substance use side

  • Drinking or using more than intended
  • Tolerance — needing more for the same effect
  • Use to manage emotion, sleep, or pain
  • Failed attempts to cut back
  • Continued use despite consequences
Our Clinical Approach

How we treatco-occurring disorders.

Integrated care: one team, one plan, both conditions treated at once. Trauma-informed throughout — because untreated trauma is one of the strongest predictors of relapse.

01

Integrated Therapy

Therapists trained in both mental health and substance use — addressing the whole picture in a single, coordinated relationship.

02

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Where appropriate, evidence-based medications support both psychiatric stability and recovery from substance use.

03

Recovery Community

Group work, peer support, and aftercare planning that meets you in early recovery and walks with you into long-term stability.

The Path Forward

What working with uslooks like.

I

Assessment

A thorough psychiatric and psychological evaluation — symptoms, history, biology, life context — to understand what is actually happening, not only what is observable.

II

Personalized care

An individualized plan built with you: evidence-based therapies, judicious medication when appropriate, and supports calibrated to your goals and pace.

III

Integration

Body, sleep, nutrition, and relationships brought into the work — so what you learn in therapy becomes how you live, not only how you cope.

IV

Continuum

A clear path through residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient care — and a thoughtful aftercare plan that honors the work you've done.

Frequently Asked

Questions familiesask us most.

Confidential answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, our admissions team is a phone call away.

No. Asking someone to address mental health while still using — or to address substance use without addressing what drives it — is a setup for failure. We treat both at once.
