What is a Dual Diagnosis Disorder?
A dual diagnosis disorder is a mental health disorder that presents at the same time as a substance use disorder. Examples of this could be Major Depressive Disorder that is coupled with an opioid problem or extreme anxiety that is coupled with alcohol abuse, among many others.
Why Choose Dual Diagnosis Disorder Treatment?
While mental health treatment or substance use treatment is a great choice for those struggling with mental health and substance use issues, a dual diagnosis program like the one at River Vista treats them simultaneously.
Often, a mental health issue can cause a substance use issue or vice versa, and treating just one may result in a higher risk for relapse. By treating both, we help give you the highest chance of living a life in recovery.
