Dual Diagnosis
Dual-diagnosis concerns can be a real-life example of the chicken or the egg questions for many. It can be difficult to narrow down which concern was present first; honestly, that’s okay.
The course of treatment would likely be the same either way. The goal of dual-diagnosis treatment programs is to help you learn to cope with and manage all of your mental health concerns in a way that is healthy and realistic for you.
As a Los Angeles dual-diagnosis center, the Wellness Detox provides outpatient treatment services for individuals living in the LA area.
Wellness Detox of LA is a Los Angeles drug rehab that offers comprehensive dual diagnosis therapy.
Innovative & Immersive Treatment
What Does it Mean to Have a Dual-Diagnosis?
Dual-diagnosis is a phrase used when someone is living with two mental health concerns concurrently. In our case, we are usually talking about mental health concerns that occur in addition to a substance use disorder.
Individuals who are living with a dual diagnosis may know which concern came first, or they may not. Some individuals have a pre-existing mental health concern that may have been relieved with the use of drugs and alcohol. On the other end of the spectrum, we have individuals who developed mental health concerns after they were struggling with an active addiction.
If you have been struggling with your mental health and your use of drugs and alcohol, you may benefit from care at a dual-diagnosis treatment center in Los Angeles. Wellness Detox offers personalized treatment designed to support all your mental health needs. To learn more about how Wellness Detox can support you in your journey.

Addiction Doesn't Have to Win.
Common Co-Occurring Mental Health Concerns
Research has helped us recognize patterns among co-occurring diagnoses. We are now familiar with the common mental health concerns that individuals living with an addiction can also struggle with.
Common mental health concerns that we see concurrently with substance use disorders include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Other mood disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- Conduct Disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Borderline personality disorder
The most commonly abused substances by individuals who are living with co-occurring disorders include alcohol, tobacco, opioids, stimulants, marijuana, hallucinogens, and prescription medications.
Wellness Detox provides dual-diagnosis therapy in Los Angeles for individuals who have recently completed an inpatient treatment program and those who are in the early stages of their recovery. We invite you to learn more about our treatment programs!
Dual Diagnosis Impacts
How a Dual Diagnosis Can Impact Your Health and Wellness
Individuals who are living with a dual diagnosis are likely to experience more symptoms than those who are not. As an example, someone who is struggling with depression would have their depressive symptoms as well as their addiction causing distress and impairment in their functioning. Depending on the mental health concern, individuals with co-occurring disorders may find themselves experiencing more hopelessness and suicidal concerns.
It is also important to be mindful of how co-occurring mental health concerns impact each other. You may find that their triggers are intertwined or that the symptoms of one act as a trigger for the other. When this occurs, recovery can feel almost impossible if you are doing it on your own.
If you are living with a dual diagnosis, you may struggle with:
- Isolation
- Keeping focus and maintaining attention
- Changes in your behavior
- Mood changes
- Increased engagement in risky behaviors

What to look for in treatment
What is the Best Treatment Approach for Individuals Living with a Dual-Diagnosis?
The best course of action for those who are living with a dual diagnosis is to receive treatment for both concerns at the same time. As mentioned above, co-occurring disorders are often connected in one or many ways. When you receive treatment for both concurrently, you will learn new skills and strategies for managing symptoms of both your addiction and your other mental health concerns.
The form of treatment that you need will be dependent on your mental health concerns, the severity of your symptoms, and your mental health history. Specialized treatment options and medication management are often available in both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs.

Wellness Detox is a Top-of-The-Line
Los Angeles Dual-Diagnosis Treatment Center
If you have been struggling with drugs or alcohol, you may have found yourself isolating yourself and distancing yourself from your friends and family. Isolation is a common experience in active addiction because your mind is focused on your use, which can impact your relationships with friends and family. When you add another mental health concern into the picture, your experience has likely intensified because of other mental health concerns.
Living with co-occurring mental health concerns is hard, and it can be difficult to find your footing when you want to get help. More often than not, when you have co-occurring disorders, your symptoms are intertwined, which means that they can trigger one another.
