Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program

Integrated, personalized care for individuals facing both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, evidence-based therapies, and long-term support to achieve lasting recovery and mental health stability.

Integrated Care for
Co-occurring Disorders

Addiction is often more complex than it appears on the surface. For many individuals, substance use is intertwined with underlying mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. This combination, known as a co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis, requires specialized treatment to address both the addiction and the mental health challenges simultaneously.

At Evolve, our comprehensive dual diagnosis program is designed to provide integrated care, ensuring that both substance use disorder and mental health conditions are treated effectively for lasting recovery.

Why Choose Evolve's Treatment Program?

We understand that treating addiction alone is not enough when an underlying mental health condition is present. Our program is focused on addressing the unique challenges posed by co-occurring disorders. By treating both conditions holistically and personally, we provide a path to long-term recovery, mental stability, and a healthier life.

What Is Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time. These conditions often exacerbate one another, making recovery more complex. For example, someone may use alcohol to self-medicate symptoms of depression or anxiety, leading to a cycle of dependence that can worsen both the mental health issue and the addiction.

At Evolve’s, we believe that to break this cycle, both disorders must be treated concurrently in a fully integrated program. Addressing just one issue without treating the other can lead      to relapse or incomplete recovery.

Specialized Treatment for Co-occurring Disorders

Substance Use & Depression

Depression and substance use are often deeply connected, with individuals turning to drugs or alcohol to cope with overwhelming feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emotional numbness. At Evolve, we use evidence-based treatments to address the root causes of depression while providing the tools needed to break the cycle of addiction.

Substance Use & Anxiety

Many individuals struggling with anxiety turn to substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or marijuana to find temporary relief. However, substance use can worsen anxiety over time, creating a dangerous feedback loop. Our dual diagnosis program helps patients manage anxiety through therapy, mindfulness, and, if needed, medication management while working on addiction recovery.

Substance Use & PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a significant factor in many cases of substance use disorder. Traumatic experiences often lead individuals to self-medicate to numb painful memories or intrusive thoughts. At Evolve, we offer trauma-informed care to help patients healthily process their trauma while also treating the addiction that has developed as a coping mechanism.

Substance Use & Bipolar Disorder

Individuals with bipolar disorder often experience intense mood swings that can lead to substance use as a way to manage either the manic highs or depressive lows. Treating both bipolar disorder and addiction simultaneously is critical to breaking the cycle of self-medication. Our team of professionals provides integrated care that helps stabilize mood while addressing the underlying addiction.

Integrated Therapies for Dual Diagnosis

At Evolve, our approach to dual diagnosis treatment is rooted in empirically supported therapies that are proven effective for both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These therapies include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns that fuel both addiction and mental health issues.
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Focuses on building emotional regulation and coping skills to manage stress, anxiety, and mood fluctuations, which can trigger substance use.
  • Trauma-Informed Care: For patients with a history of trauma, we provide a safe, supportive environment to process past experiences and begin the healing process.
  • Medication Management: Our psychiatric team carefully monitors and adjusts medications to ensure both substance use and mental health symptoms are managed effectively.
  • Holistic Wellness Programs: We offer mindfulness, yoga, fitness, and stress management techniques to support emotional well-being and physical recovery.
