Dual diagnosis treatment addresses addiction and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder at the same time. Treating one while ignoring the other is a common reason recovery does not stick, because each condition feeds the other.
In Washington, dual diagnosis programs combine addiction treatment with psychiatric care and therapy, often with one team handling both. Of Washington's 22 rehab centers, 19 report programs for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

Any combination of a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or ADHD.
Why treat both conditions together?
Because they feed each other. Untreated depression or anxiety commonly drives a return to drinking or using, so integrated care improves the odds for both.
Do dual diagnosis programs prescribe psychiatric medication?
Most do. Psychiatric providers on staff can prescribe and manage medication alongside the addiction treatment.
