Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Personalized, structured care for both mental health and substance use challenges.
What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment helps people who are dealing with both a mental health condition and a substance use problem at the same time. Because these often fuel each other, treating them together is the most effective way to make real progress.

Flexible care that fits into your life while helping you stay supported and on track.
Virtual Intensive Outpatient (VIOP)
Online treatment with structure and accountability, ideal if you need added flexibility.

Dual diagnosis recovery takes time, which is why support doesn’t stop at discharge. We help you build a personalized aftercare plan and stay connected with check-ins for 12 weeks to help you stay on track and make adjustments as life changes.
Drug Addiction Treatment FAQs
Is a dual diagnosis the same as a co-occuring disorder?
Yes, these terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to someone experiencing a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time.
How do I know if I have a dual diagnosis?
Only a licensed professional can give you a formal diagnosis. However, if you’re dealing with substance use and symptoms like anxiety, depression, or frequent mood swings, it might be a sign that dual diagnosis treatment could help. Our dual diagnosis quiz is a simple way to start figuring out what kind of support you might need.
Which type of dual diagnosis program should I choose?
Inpatient care is a good fit if you need structure and daily support to stabilize both mental health and substance use. Outpatient and virtual options work well if you’re more stable but still need regular guidance. Our admissions team can help you decide what level of care is right for you.
What therapies are used in dual diagnosis treatment?
At Northpoint Recovery, we offer proven therapies that address both mental health and substance use together. Our approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for managing thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, as well as personalized individual therapy, supportive group therapy, and family therapy to strengthen connections and support healing.
How can I stay connected after treatment?
In addition to our aftercare planning, you’ll have access to our alumni program at no additional cost once you complete treatment. It offers peer support, community events, and ongoing connection to help you feel supported and engaged in recovery.
Do you accept insurance?
