Dual-Diagnosis & Co-occurring Disorder Therapy at Milestone Treatment Center


What is Dual-Diagnosis or Co-occurring Disorder?

Addiction often co-occurs with mental health disorders. This is known as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder, and it means that an individual is dealing with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. We recognize the complex interplay between addiction and mental health, and our specialized dual diagnosis treatment program is designed to address both conditions simultaneously.

Common Co-Occurring Disorders We Treat
  • Depression
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Schizophrenia
  • Personality Disorders

Who benefits from Dual-Diagnosis Treatment?

CBT for substance abuse can be incredibly beneficial for a wide range of people. Here's a breakdown:

  • Those actively struggling with substance abuse: This includes individuals with addictions to alcohol, opioids, stimulants, or other substances. CBT helps them understand their triggers, develop coping mechanisms, and challenge thoughts that lead to substance use.
  • People in recovery: CBT equips individuals in recovery with tools to maintain sobriety, prevent relapse, and manage cravings.
  • Individuals with co-occurring disorders: Many people with substance abuse issues also struggle with mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. CBT can address both simultaneously.
  • Loved ones of those with addiction: While not the primary focus, CBT can offer support and coping strategies for family members affected by a loved one's substance abuse.

Anyone motivated to change their relationship with substances and develop healthier coping mechanisms can benefit from CBT.
