Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Integrated Healing for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
When mental health conditions and substance use intersect, recovery becomes more complex—but not impossible. Dual diagnosis treatment provides the integrated care necessary to break the cycle of self-medication and emotional instability. At Casa Leona Recovery Center, we specialize in treating both addiction and mental health challenges together, creating a path to lasting recovery and emotional wellness.
"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently"
What It Is and Why Integrated Treatment Matters
Understanding Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder in the same individual. These conditions often influence and intensify one another—leading individuals to use substances in an attempt to relieve psychological distress, which ultimately worsens both issues.
Common co-occurring mental health disorders include:
Anxiety and panic disorders
Depression and major depressive disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Bipolar disorder
ADHD and other mood disorders
Effective treatment requires a coordinated approach. Addressing only the addiction or only the mental health condition increases the likelihood of relapse or incomplete healing.
Recognizing the Signs of Co-Occurring Disorders
When Dual Diagnosis Treatment Is Needed
If you or a loved one is experiencing substance use alongside emotional or mental health challenges, these signs may suggest a need for dual diagnosis treatment:
Using drugs or alcohol to numb emotional pain or trauma
Ongoing mood swings, anxiety, or depression interfering with daily life
Impaired function at work, school, or in social situations
Engaging in risky or self-destructive behaviors under the influence
Neglecting responsibilities or withdrawing from loved ones
Our experienced team at Casa Leona can help you regain stability with personalized, dual-focused care.
Disclosure: We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently.
