Why Choose a Dual Diagnosis Mental Health Treatment Center?

At its core, dual diagnosis refers to the co-existence of a mental health disorder alongside a substance use disorder. This condition is far more common than one might think. Many individuals battling addiction may also face underlying mental health challenges, and vice versa.

Treating Co-Occurring Disorders For Long-Term Recovery

Addressing only one facet of this intertwined relationship can lead to an incomplete recovery. By acknowledging and treating both mental health disorders and addiction disorders, a holistic pathway to healing is much clearer. This comprehensive approach ensures that underlying triggers and co-existing issues are identified and managed, paving a clear path for a more resilient long-term recovery journey.

Improving Mental Health & Addiction Treatment Outcomes

Opting for Cornerstone’s dual diagnosis treatment offers several advantages. Our experienced team is specially trained in identifying and treating co-occurring disorders, ensuring every individual receives personalized care. With state-of-the-art treatment facilities and a nurturing environment, Cornerstone of Southern California provides unparalleled treatment and support, helping clients navigate the complexities of dual diagnosis while laying the groundwork for long-lasting health and sobriety.

Mental Health Disorders We Treat

Here are some common co-occurring mental health disorders that we commonly provide treatment for:

  • Anxiety Disorders

  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Schizophrenia
  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

The Interconnection of Mental Health and Substance Abuse

It’s important to note that mental health disorders and substance abuse can often be deeply interconnected. Individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol as a means to self-medicate or cope with their mental health symptoms. Conversely, substance abuse can exacerbate or even trigger the onset of certain mental health conditions. At Cornerstone of Southern California, our dual diagnosis treatment approach ensures we address both the substance abuse and the mental health disorder, recognizing that both problems need to be addressed to provide holistic care for optimal recovery.

You can recover from drug or alcohol addiction and we will help to support you.
