A co-occurring disorder, also known as a dual diagnosis, refers to the presence of both a substance use disorder (SUD) and one or more mental health disorders. These conditions often intertwine, with one potentially exacerbating the other. For example, someone with depression might turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope, while substance abuse can, in turn, worsen depressive symptoms. Untreated, both conditions can create a cycle of suffering, making recovery significantly more challenging.
We treat a range of co-occurring disorders, including:
Treating only one aspect of a co-occurring disorder is rarely effective. Addressing the addiction without acknowledging the underlying mental health condition, or vice versa, often leads to relapse and continued suffering. At Ethan Health, we believe in integrated treatment, which means addressing both the substance use disorder and the co-occurring mental health disorder simultaneously.
We conduct thorough assessments to accurately diagnose both the addiction and any co-occurring mental health disorders.
We develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's specific needs and challenges.
We utilize evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed 1 therapy to address both addiction and mental health concerns.
Our medical professionals can provide medication management for mental health conditions, when appropriate, to support the recovery process.
Group therapy provides a supportive environment for individuals to share their experiences and learn from others.
These specialized groups focus on the unique challenges of individuals with co-occurring disorders.
We develop comprehensive aftercare plans to ensure ongoing support and prevent relapse.
Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, refer to the presence of both a mental health disorder (like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder) and a substance use disorder (alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications).
You might have a co-occurring disorder if you find yourself using substances to cope with difficult emotions or if your mental health symptoms worsen when you use substances. A professional assessment is the best way to determine if you have a co-occurring disorder.
Yes, absolutely. We adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines, including HIPAA regulations. Your privacy is paramount.

Our approach to medication management is comprehensive and individualized. Our medical team, including psychiatrists and physicians, conducts thorough assessments to determine if medication is appropriate.

We prioritize a holistic approach, combining medication with therapy and other evidence-based treatments.
We offer a range of evidence-based therapies, including:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): To develop skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Motivational Interviewing (MI): To enhance motivation for change.

We provide integrated treatment, meaning our team of mental health and substance use specialists work together to address both conditions simultaneously. This approach ensures that all aspects of your well-being are addressed, leading to more effective and sustainable recovery.
We provide comprehensive aftercare planning to support your long-term recovery. This includes connecting you with community resources, support groups, and ongoing therapy.
