At times, patients may have a substance abuse or dependence diagnosis along with a mental health diagnosis. They may have self-medicated their symptoms with alcohol or drugs, making it difficult to determine if the addiction or mental health issue presented itself first.  We refer to this as dual diagnosis.

Dual diagnosis categories include the following:

• Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
• Mood Disorders
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Major depressive disorder
• Anxiety disorders
  • Generalized anxiety
  • Panic disorder
  • Panic disorder with and without agoraphobia
• Personality disorders

An untreated mental health condition will make a person more vulnerable to substance abuse. Likewise, relapse will worsen a mental health condition. Our dual diagnosis treatment team includes psychiatrists and knowledgeable staff who can help patients manage their mental health and substance abuse simultaneously.
