Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, simultaneously. Many individuals struggling with addiction also experience mental health issues that can exacerbate substance use or hinder recovery efforts. Treating both conditions together is essential for comprehensive and effective care. Dual diagnosis treatment at Carmel Treatment Center involves integrated therapies that address both addiction and mental health, providing individuals with a holistic approach to healing. This method helps clients understand the connection between their mental health and substance use, empowering them to develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve lasting recovery.

In a dual diagnosis treatment program, individuals receive comprehensive care that simultaneously addresses substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The program begins with a thorough assessment to identify the specific mental health and substance use challenges a person faces. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is created, which may include a combination of therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), medication management, and individual or group counseling.

Throughout the program, clients learn to understand the relationship between their mental health and substance use, developing healthier coping strategies and gaining insights into the root causes of their challenges. Dual diagnosis treatment also emphasizes building a robust support network, enhancing emotional regulation, and developing life skills to support long-term recovery. At Carmel Treatment Center, our compassionate team is dedicated to providing the integrated care necessary to help individuals achieve a balanced and fulfilling life.
