Frequently Asked Questions
About Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis (co-occurring disorders) refers to the simultaneous presence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. This condition affects nearly 50% of individuals with severe mental illness and requires specialized integrated treatment addressing both conditions together. Traditional approaches treating one condition while ignoring the other typically fail, leading to relapse in both.
Common Co-Occurring Conditions
Mental health conditions that frequently occur with addiction include:
- Depression: Major depressive disorder often co-occurs with alcohol or drug use
- Anxiety Disorders: GAD, panic disorder, social anxiety commonly co-occur with substance use
- PTSD: Trauma and addiction frequently occur together
- Bipolar Disorder: High rates of substance use during mood episodes
- Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders: Significantly increased substance use rates
- Personality Disorders: Borderline and antisocial personality disorders commonly co-occur
Why Integrated Treatment Is Essential
Mental health and addiction affect each other in complex ways. Mental health symptoms may lead to substance use as self-medication. Substance use worsens mental health symptoms and interferes with treatment. Withdrawal can trigger or worsen psychiatric symptoms. Each condition can mask or mimic symptoms of the other. This bidirectional relationship requires simultaneous, coordinated treatment of both conditions.
Components of Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Quality programs provide:
- Comprehensive Assessment: Thorough evaluation of both mental health and substance use
- Psychiatric Services: Medication management for mental health conditions
- Individual Therapy: Evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT
- Group Therapy: Dual diagnosis specific groups with others facing similar challenges
- Family Involvement: Education and support for loved ones
- Coordinated Care: Mental health professionals and addiction specialists working together
- Continuing Care Planning: Long-term support for both conditions

Insurance Coverage and Access
