Dual Diagnosis Treatment

For some, a mental health disorder may overlap with a substance use disorder. These co-occurring disorders are referred to as a dual diagnosis. When a dual diagnosis is present, long-term recovery success depends on receiving treatment for both disorders at the same time. At LifeSync Malibu, addiction recovery professionals work alongside the psychiatric staff to provide optimum dual diagnosis treatment. Review the Dual Diagnosis treatment program.
