How do I know if I need dual diagnosis treatment instead of standard rehab?

If substance abuse occurs alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, or other mental health issues, standard rehab is often insufficient. When sobriety alone doesn’t stabilize mood or emotional functioning, integrated dual diagnosis treatment is typically the necessary process to be followed.

What makes Evolutions different from other programs?

Evolutions Treatment Center offers coordinated psychiatric and addiction care under one clinical team. Medication management, psychotherapy, and addiction treatment work together daily to define true dual diagnosis rehab and support the stability you’ve been seeking.

What happens during the first days of treatment?

Clients receive a full psychiatric and medical assessment, which is followed by an individualized treatment plan. Many patients describe their first days as a relief, because they know they are finally receiving coordinated, holistic care.

Do you accept insurance for the dual-diagnosis program?

Evolutions Treatment Center works with most major insurance companies and offers free, confidential health insurance provider verification. Contact our admissions team to discuss your options before enrollment.

Trusted Dual Diagnosis Care in Florida

Treating mental health symptoms and substance use disorder separately can often lead to repeated relapses and emotional exhaustion. Evolutions Treatment Center was created to address this exact failure point that traditional treatment models cause. As a leading dual diagnosis rehab center in Florida, we deliver coordinated psychiatric and addiction support under a unified clinical approach that licensed therapists and board-certified psychiatrists lead.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), more than 9.2 million adults in the United States live with both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. Yet fewer than half receive treatment for both conditions, due to the high cost. Moreover, data from the National Institute of Mental Health further present that co-occurring mental health disorders, when undertreated, significantly increase the risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide. In Florida, where access to integrated care is limited, many individuals cycle through short-term programs without showing actual improvement.

At our facility, we close that gap by treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our focus is lifelong stabilization, emotional regulation, relapse prevention, and helping individuals rebuild the life they dream of steadily and with dignity.

What Is Dual Diagnosis & Why Integrated Treatment Matters

Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorder, occurs when a mental health and substance use disorder are present simultaneously. Depression paired with alcohol addictions, anxiety combined with stimulants, unprocessed trauma alongside opioids, or bipolar disorder complicated by addiction are all common examples. These conditions often reinforce each other, only to create a loop where emotional distress fuels substance use, and substance use intensifies psychiatric symptoms.

Treating addiction without addressing mental health conditions leaves the underlying emotional pain unresolved. Treating mental health without stabilizing substance use often prevents therapy and medication from working effectively. Integrated dual diagnosis treatment brings both sides into balance, so the brain and body heal together.

Clinically, treating only one condition while ignoring the other is one of the most common reasons individuals go through a vicious cycle of rehabs, emergency rooms, and short-term programs over and over again. Research published by the National Institutes of Health consistently shows that integrated treatment reduces relapse rates, psychiatric hospitalizations, and crisis interventions. This evidence-based model is the foundation of care at Evolutions Treatment Center.

Conditions Commonly Treated in Dual Diagnosis Care

At Evolutions, our clinicians work with individuals struggling with:

Overlapping mood disorders
Anxiety disorders
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Bipolar disorder
Personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Substance use disorders

Depression may appear as persistent withdrawal or hopelessness, while anxiety can drive compulsive substance use as a form of self-medication. Bipolar disorder, PTSD, and unresolved trauma often promote emotional instability and impulsive behaviors when addiction is present.

Our role is not to label, but to understand. Through careful psychiatric assessment and ongoing clinical monitoring, we clarify diagnoses and design treatments that address each condition simultaneously. Individuals typically experience dual diagnosis in various ways, and that is why our care is always individualized and continuously adjusted.

Our Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment Approach

Dual diagnosis treatment at Evolutions begins with a comprehensive psychiatric and medical evaluation. With this assessment, our specialized team identifies mental health diagnoses, substance use patterns, trauma history, and medical needs. From there, we design a coordinated treatment program that’s tailored to your unique needs.

Many clients arrive exhausted, not just from substance use, but also from years of being told to “fix one problem first.” That separation ends here.

We provide:

Inpatient Residential Treatment

A safe and supportive environment with 24/7 medical oversight, therapeutic meals, intensive therapy, and a calming setting where the body and mind can begin to stabilize.
