Dual diagnosis refers to co-occurring substance use dependence and mental health disorders. A person may develop an addiction which then causes the development of a mental health disorder. Adversely, an individual may attempt to self-medicate a mental health disorder by abusing substances. In either case, a vicious cycle can form where one feels trapped in addiction and unable to gain control of their life.

Our staff is prepared with evidence-based mental health therapies to address any mental disorders. We will help you detox from addictive substances and learn to overcome mental health challenges, leading you back to a healthy lifestyle.
