Integrated dual diagnosis treatment.
When mental health and substance use overlap, treating one without the other rarely works. Hillside's dual diagnosis program treats both together, under one roof, one team, one plan.
Overview
Roughly half of adults with a serious mental illness also live with a substance use disorder. Our integrated model brings psychiatry, addiction medicine, and trauma therapy into a single residential program, so nothing falls through the cracks between providers.
Co-occurring conditions we treat
Our clinical team is trained across both mental health and addiction, so you don't have to choose which condition to prioritize. Alcohol use disorder, opioid use, stimulant use, sedative use, and polysubstance use are each treated alongside the mental health condition tied to them.
- Depression + alcohol use
- Anxiety with sedative use
- Trauma + substance use
- Bipolar with stimulant use
- Opioid use with depression or anxiety
- Personality disorders with polysubstance use
How integrated care actually works
Instead of handing you off between a therapist, a psychiatrist, and an addiction counselor with no shared plan, one team writes and executes a single treatment plan that addresses both diagnoses simultaneously.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a dual diagnosis treatment center?
A dual diagnosis (or co-occurring disorders) treatment center provides integrated care for a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time, in the same program, rather than treating them separately.
What should I look for in a dual diagnosis treatment center?
Look for licensed psychiatric care alongside addiction treatment, staff trained in both disciplines, evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, EMDR, MI), medication-assisted treatment when indicated, and a clear aftercare plan.
Do you treat trauma and addiction together?
Yes. Trauma and substance use are deeply linked. Our clinicians are trained to sequence trauma work safely alongside addiction recovery so neither issue undermines the other.
Is dual diagnosis treatment covered by insurance?
Most major commercial insurance plans cover residential dual diagnosis treatment. Our admissions team runs a free benefits check and explains coverage clearly, in plain language.
