What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

Dual Diagnosis Treatment is a specialized approach that supports individuals facing both substance use disorder (SUD) and a mental health disorder simultaneously. These are usually considered to be “co-occurring disorders.” Nearly 19% of Americans who experience a mental health disorder also experience a SUD.

Common mental health challenges include depression and anxiety, while SUD may involve alcohol, drugs, or other addictive substances.

Treating both co-occurring conditions together is crucial, as each can worsen the other, creating a cycle of escalating symptoms. NuView’s dual diagnosis treatment center in Los Angeles offers comprehensive support, including therapy, medication, and supportive care, tailored to individual needs.

How Dual-Diagnosis Treatment Works?

Dual diagnosis treatment can take more time than solely seeking treatment for a SUD. However, it is comprehensive and holistic. NuView’s dual-diagnosis treatment in Los Angeles takes a comprehensive approach, simultaneously addressing mental health and substance use issues. Beginning with an assessment, we guide you through individual therapy and group sessions tailored to your unique needs. Medication is also provided in cases where there is a need. These sessions explore the interplay between mental health and substance use, providing practical coping strategies.

Dual diagnosis is meant to treat co-occurring disorders in a personalized manner, as effective treatments can be tailored to unique diagnosis and needs. Dual diagnosis treats co-occurring disorders simultaneously and not one after the other. This kind of a treatment allows an individual to manage their mental health conditions without resorting to substance use.

Lasting Recovery and Aftercare

Dual diagnosis treatment is not limited to overcoming the co-occurring conditions alone. It is ongoing and extends beyond the treatment phase. Toward the same, NuView provides aftercare options tailored to individuals’ unique needs and circumstances.
