Dual Diagnosis Treatment, Powell, OH

A Clinical Assessment Identifies Both Substance Use and Mental Health Needs 

Your clinical assessment is the first step in determining whether SUD and a mental health condition are affecting one another. It helps identify anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other mental health concerns that may influence your symptoms, recovery, and recommended level of care.

During your evaluation, our clinical team reviews factors such as:

• Your substance use history
• Current mental health symptoms
• Medical history and current medications
• Previous treatment experiences
• Other factors that may affect your care

This information helps us understand how these conditions interact and recommend the most appropriate level of support.

Your assessment also determines whether dual diagnosis treatment is appropriate within our partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP). We use the results to recommend evidence-based care that aligns with your symptoms, recovery goals, and daily responsibilities.

Therapy, Psychiatry, and Medication Management Work Together 

Dual diagnosis treatment combines addiction treatment with mental health care instead of treating each condition separately. Your care may include individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric support, medication management, and evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapy when clinically appropriate.

Someone living with PTSD may benefit from a different combination of therapies than someone managing anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. As your symptoms change, your clinical team reviews your progress and adjusts your care when appropriate.

Your therapists, psychiatric providers, and other clinicians coordinate therapy goals, medication decisions, and recovery planning throughout treatment. This collaborative approach helps every part of your care work toward the same recovery goals.
