Dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurrence of a substance use disorder and one or more mental health conditions. Research consistently shows that addiction and mental health disorders are deeply interrelated—each condition can trigger, worsen or perpetuate the other. Treating only one condition while ignoring the other significantly increases the risk of relapse and ongoing suffering.
At The Recovery Village Columbus, integrated dual diagnosis treatment is a cornerstone of our clinical model. Our team of psychiatrists, therapists and counselors provides simultaneous, coordinated care for both addiction and mental health conditions.
