THE SCOPE

What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment at The Lakes Treatment Center uses an integrated plan for substance use and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma related disorders, or bipolar disorder. The same treatment team addresses addiction and mental health together instead of in separate programs. Therapists, medical providers, and support staff coordinate therapy, medication management, and recovery services in one roadmap. The plan aligns with your symptoms, history, and goals. This approach aims to reduce symptoms, stabilize mood, and improve daily functioning while you learn how substance use and mental health triggers interact. By addressing both sides at the same time, you build stronger coping skills and a more stable foundation for long term recovery. If you or a loved one needs dual diagnosis treatment, contact The Lakes Treatment Center to learn how this program supports your next step toward healing.

DIFFERENCE

How Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment Different?

Unlike treatments of the past, dual diagnosis treatment allows an individual to get help for both a substance use disorder and a mental or behavioral health condition at the same time. This is critical, as the two disorders generally affect and heighten one another. Without treatment for one, a person can find it extremely difficult and nearly impossible to recover from the other. Dual diagnosis treatment improves the chance of successful recovery and long-term sobriety for those struggling to manage addiction and mental health.

Generally speaking, dual diagnosis treatment seeks to address underlying trauma and mental illness to equip individuals with the tools they need to make critical lifestyle changes, increase mindfulness, develop important life skills, prevent relapse, and achieve long-term sobriety. This might include a combination of individual and group therapy—including cognitive behavioral therapy and other proven methods—detox, group meetings, medications, trauma-based therapy, religious services, mindfulness practices, and recreational activities.

At The Lakes Treatment Center, we tailor our dual diagnosis treatments to meet the unique needs of each individual client. At our residential facility, we provide clients with the 24-hour care and support they need as they navigate the ongoing recovery process.
