What Is a Dual Diagnosis?
The term dual diagnosis disorder (also known as a co-occurring disorder) refers to an individual with one or more substance use conditions as well as one or more mental illnesses such as anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Over the years, research at dual diagnosis treatment centers has shown that substance abuse and mental health tend to go hand in hand. As such, treatment must be structured to address both to be successful long-term. Those receiving substance abuse treatment may find it more challenging to get through a program without also addressing their mental health issues.
In both cases, the substance abuse disorder becomes intertwined with a person’s mental health disorder, and they reinforce each other, leading to a worsening of both disorders. Often, those dealing with co-occurring disorders end up relying on substances to ease the pain of their mental illness. It becomes a vicious cycle that’s hard to resolve.
An example of a dual diagnosis
An example of a dual diagnosis disorder is an individual addicted to alcohol who also has depression, or an individual dependent on painkillers who also has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Treat each condition, and the link between them
When dealing with both addiction and mental illness, it’s imperative to deal with each condition both individually and in terms of the way each impacts the other. And in order to treat one, you also need to treat the other. When engaging in dual diagnosis treatment, it’s essential to realize that addiction and mental illness can form a self-perpetuating cycle.
Understand the relationship
Dual diagnosis treatment programs not only treat both the addiction and the mental health issues but also help individuals in recovery understand the relationship between the two. This aids in recognizing triggers in the future and paying attention to possible relapses in recovery because of one or the other. Addiction treatment that considers co-occurring disorders can be complex because of the medical challenges involved in balancing mental health issues.
Break the cycle
Drug abuse can lead to exacerbated co-occurring mental health challenges such as generalized anxiety disorder or depression, which can lead to using drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication, and so on. Ranch Creek Recovery’s holistic dual diagnosis treatment centers offer patients personalized treatment plans to get them on the road to recovery sooner.
How do you treat
a dual diagnosis?
One of the best ways to deal with co-occurring disorders is through a multifaceted approach. This means supporting the mind, body and spirit connection and taking advantage of every possible resource to help an individual sustain recovery.
Treatment should incorporate holistic methods as well as proven medical best practices and medication assisted treatment to give someone recovering from addiction and struggling with mental health issues an increased chance of success.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Is Holistic Treatment
Holistic components of dual diagnosis treatment include encouraging individuals to take care of their bodies through physical movement, such as stretching or yoga. Meditation might also be incorporated into an addiction treatment program to help calm an anxious mind.
This is one of the reasons recovery programs are so individualized. What works for some may not for others, while the holistic aspects of recovery might be just what someone with an agitated mind might need to address their co-occurring disorders.
Integrated Treatment for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Disorders
It’s been proven in recent studies that integrating treatment for both substance abuse and mental health while in a rehab program lowers the relapse rate and therefore is a more effective approach. In keeping with our holistic philosophy, the Ranch Creek dual diagnosis treatment program treats the entire person, not just the addiction or just the mental health issue.
Common mental health conditions
we are experienced in treating.
While there are many mental health issues that affect those struggling with addiction, some of the most common include bipolar disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), borderline personality disorder (BPD) and anxiety disorder.

What to expect with dual diagnosis treatment
at Ranch Creek Recovery.
Identifying both problems
Dual diagnosis cases are a challenge for medical professionals because one problem is likely to cover up the other. However, a holistic approach to addiction treatment can help identify and treat both problems simultaneously.
The most common pairings
As MedlinePlus reports, the most common examples of dual diagnosis involve substance abuse combined with depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, the two can affect each other and can make each other worse.
Will insurance cover dual diagnosis
addiction treatment?
The question of insurance coverage for dual diagnosis treatment depends on the stipulations of the policy. However, when mental health issues are a factor, insurance companies are sometimes more likely to help cover the cost of treatment than they are when addiction is the sole consideration.
Those struggling with co-occurring disorders and interested in seeking treatment should check with their insurance providers to determine the extent of any coverage offered. This is also something that the team at Ranch Creek Recovery in Riverside County, CA, can help with.
If you’ve been dealing with mental illnesses that are fueling your addiction and you’re finally ready to get the help you deserve, we can help you review your insurance information to determine if you’re covered for the treatment you need.
