Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Houston

Addiction rarely shows up alone. We treat substance use alongside co-occurring mental health conditions — anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder — with integrated psychiatric care.

Short answer: what is dual diagnosis treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment at Altura Recovery addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions at the same time. The Houston clinical team treats addiction alongside anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns with therapy and psychiatric medication management.

What is dual diagnosis treatment?

Dual diagnosis (or co-occurring disorder) treatment addresses substance use and a mental health condition at the same time, because treating one without the other rarely lasts. At Altura Recovery, dual diagnosis treatment Houston care means our psychiatric provider and clinical team treat both together inside the same plan, not as two separate fights you have to manage on your own.

If you've ever felt like you got sober and the depression came rushing in, or like your anxiety made cravings impossible to manage, that's not failure — it's the math of untreated co-occurring conditions. Integrated dual diagnosis care is the answer.

Conditions we treat alongside addiction

  • Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety)
  • Depression and persistent low mood
  • PTSD and complex trauma
  • Bipolar disorder (stabilized or with active mood symptoms)
  • ADHD complicating recovery
  • Grief and adjustment disorders

We treat these alongside alcohol, opioid, stimulant (cocaine, methamphetamine), benzodiazepine, and prescription drug use disorders. If you don't see your situation here, call — we likely still can help or refer you to the right level of care.

How integrated care works at Altura

You receive therapy and psychiatric medication management coordinated under one plan, so your providers actually talk to each other. That means the LCDC running your group knows what your psychiatric provider just adjusted, and your individual therapist knows the trauma work you've done in group. This is woven into our PHP and IOP programs at every level.

Therapy approaches include CBT for depression and anxiety, prolonged exposure and CPT for PTSD, DBT skills for emotion regulation, and motivational interviewing throughout. We're trauma-informed, which simply means we know how trauma shapes behavior and we don't punish people for it.

Medication management

Our psychiatric provider can prescribe and adjust non-controlled medications for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and sleep, as well as evidence-based addiction medications when appropriate. We do not prescribe controlled stimulants or benzodiazepines as part of our program. Medication is one tool among many — never the only one.
