What are the treatment options for dual diagnosis?

Treatment options for dual diagnosis include integrated treatment programs that address both mental health and substance use disorders simultaneously.

Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), is often used to manage both conditions.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be prescribed to manage substance use and mental health symptoms.

Support groups and peer counseling provide additional support and encouragement during recovery.

Case management and coordination of care ensure that both mental health and substance use issues are addressed in a comprehensive manner.
