Dual diagnosis treatment addresses a mental health condition and a substance use disorder in the same program, at the same time, instead of treating one and hoping the other resolves on its own. It’s sometimes called integrated dual diagnosis treatment or co-occurring disorder treatment; same approach, different names.
Treating only the addiction or only the mental health condition rarely holds. The untreated condition keeps feeding the other, and relapse follows.

People in this program are usually managing a substance use disorder alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD or other trauma responses, or bipolar disorder. Some don’t have a formal diagnosis, yet they just know something feels off underneath the substance use.
Our program blends evidence-based therapies, medication management, and community connection to treat both substance use and mental health together. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan that may include:
Our approach emphasizes connection and balance, helping you learn how to manage symptoms, prevent relapse, and feel grounded in everyday life.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and other emotional health concerns.
Alcohol, opioids, stimulants, prescription medications, and other substances.
One coordinated plan may include therapy, medication support, group care, and trauma-informed treatment.
Build healthier coping skills, emotional stability, relapse-prevention strategies, and ongoing support.
Mental health and substance use concerns are treated together—not as separate problems.
At Waterside Recovery, we know that healing doesn’t always mean stepping away from your life—it means finding balance within it. That’s why our dual diagnosis treatment options are designed to offer structure, flexibility, and consistent support as you heal from both mental health challenges and addiction.
Our Day Treatment Program provides the highest level of outpatient care. Clients participate in full-day sessions, typically five days a week, focused on intensive therapy, medication management, and life-skills development. This setting is ideal for those transitioning from residential care or needing daily clinical support without an overnight stay.
You’ll build coping skills, process emotions, and learn to manage symptoms in real time—all with the stability of returning home each evening.
Our Afternoon Treatment Program offers a structured yet flexible schedule for those balancing work, school, or family responsibilities. Sessions are held in the late afternoon, combining group therapy, individual counseling, and recovery education.
This level of care helps clients maintain accountability and structure while continuing to practice recovery skills in everyday life.
Our Outpatient Program is designed for individuals who have built a foundation of recovery and are ready to maintain momentum with less intensive support. Clients attend therapy sessions and ongoing check-ins that reinforce relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and continued personal growth.
Outpatient care ensures you stay connected to the support network that understands your story—even after completing higher levels of treatment.
Our clinicians see this pattern often: a person stabilizes physically, then depression or trauma symptoms surface for the first time in years. Left unaddressed, that becomes the reason substance use feels tempting again. Integrated care means the mental health piece is treated in the same building, by the same team, from day one.
With integrated care, clients experience:
Our clinicians are trained in both addiction medicine and behavioral health, ensuring no part of your recovery is overlooked.

Our alcohol treatment program helps clients manage cravings, rebuild stability, and address the underlying stress, anxiety, or depression that often fuel drinking.
Cocaine use can quickly become overwhelming. Our cocaine addiction treatment program focuses on restoring balance through therapy, relapse prevention, and healthier ways to manage energy and emotion.
Whether from painkillers, heroin, or fentanyl, opiate addiction requires specialized care. Our opiate addiction treatment program includes medical oversight, therapy, and structured recovery planning to support long-term healing.
For other substances—like stimulants, sedatives, or benzodiazepines—we provide personalized treatment that targets both physical dependence and emotional recovery in our drug addiction treatment program.
Each program at Waterside Recovery is designed with dual diagnosis in mind—treating addiction and mental health together, so you can recover fully and move forward with confidence.

None, they’re the same thing. Both terms describe having a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time.
Most major insurance plans cover at least part of dual diagnosis treatment, including therapy, medication management, and levels of care like day treatment or outpatient. Verify your insurance before starting so you know what’s covered.
It varies by person. Many clients move through day treatment, then afternoon treatment, then outpatient care over several months, adjusting as symptoms stabilize.
It depends on the person. Some develop a mental health condition first and use substances to manage symptoms; others develop mental health symptoms after a substance use disorder takes hold. Either way, both need treatment together.
Licensed counselors are standing by and available any time, day or night. Don’t hesitate to call today.
