Dual Diagnosis Rehab & Treatment Center San Diego

What is Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis is defined by the coinciding, organized treatment of those with both substance abuse issues and mental illness. Statistics from the Journal of the American Medical Association show approximately 50% of individuals with serious mental disorders are also affected by substance abuse. Twenty-nine percent of people diagnosed with mental illness also abuse either alcohol or drugs. Treating behavioral health issues with substance abuse rehab concurrently is the best method to overcome either. The rate of dual diagnosis recovery is radically better when co-occurring disorders are treated simultaneously. Sustained rates of inpatient dual diagnosis recovery are significantly better when mental health and substance abuse treatment is rendered from the same source, to avoid mismatched treatment plans and inconvenience.

Pacific Bay Recovery is here to help!

Pacific Bay Recovery specializes as a dual diagnosis treatment center in San Diego – aiding women and men who suffer with drug, alcohol, and other addictions that are co-existing with mental health issues including, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bi-polar disorder, trauma and more.

Our compassionate and understanding staff provides guidance and support so that patients can began to heal from their root issues. Upon beginning treatment at our premier inpatient substance abuse clinic in San Diego, patients go through a comprehensive clinical analysis to determine where they are in the addiction process. Psychological, medical, and substance abuse (including outpatient substance abuse) histories are assessed to cultivate an individualized program designed to achieve long-term recovery.  Patients will participate in a combination of individual and family therapy, behavioral health group therapy, and relapse prevention sessions. Patients afflicted with mental illness and substance abuse must be given the opportunity to recover in their own time, although a modest pace of recovery shouldn’t prohibit beginning treatment. Pacific Bay Recovery treats patients with dual disorders with exemplary care that extends beyond ordinary counseling or medication, thus improving the odds for lifelong recovery and a happy and fulfilling life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Dual Diagnosis

Do I need a formal mental health diagnosis to qualify?

No. Many individuals enter treatment with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health concerns that have never been formally diagnosed. Our psychiatric evaluation at admission helps identify underlying issues and guides the development of a personalized treatment plan.

Will I have to stop my psychiatric medication?

In most cases, no. Our psychiatrist carefully reviews your current medications and only recommends changes when clinically appropriate. The goal is to provide coordinated, effective care while maintaining stability throughout treatment.

Is dual-diagnosis treatment more expensive?

No. Dual-diagnosis treatment is integrated into our existing levels of care and is not offered as a separate premium service. Clients receive comprehensive treatment for both substance use and mental health conditions within the same program structure.

Can I get dual-diagnosis care at the outpatient level?

Yes. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) both include integrated dual-diagnosis services. This allows clients to receive coordinated addiction and mental health treatment while maintaining many of their daily responsibilities.
