This approach helps you:
- Understand what triggers both cravings and emotional swings
- Learn coping skills that reduce the urge to use substances
- Find medication or therapies that stabilize mood and thinking
- Improve sleep, focus, and motivation during recovery
- Build confidence in daily routines and relationships
This kind of care may be right for you if:
- You’ve tried treatment before but symptoms or cravings came back
- You use drugs or alcohol to manage mental health symptoms
- You feel unstable or anxious even when sober
- You’re unsure whether your main problem is addiction or mental health
Common Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
People with dual diagnosis experience many different mental health symptoms. Some face depression or anxiety that makes cravings harder to control, while others struggle with mood swings, trauma, or thought disorders that need psychiatric support.
Common co-occurring conditions include:
- Anxiety Disorders (generalized, panic, or social)
- Depression and Bipolar Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Borderline and Antisocial Personality Disorders
- Schizoaffective and Psychotic Disorders
- Dissociative Identity Disorder
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
- Complicated or Unresolved Grief
- Thorough Evaluation – Careful assessment to identify how substance use and mental health conditions interact.
- Specialized Care Plans – Individualized treatment that draws from both our addiction expertise and mental health expertise.
- Advanced Treatment Options – Access to therapies such as CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, medication management, and other proven approaches.
- Coordinated Support – A team that communicates across disciplines to ensure both conditions are treated at the same time.
- Focus on Long-Term Stability – Ongoing support and relapse-prevention planning to help patients manage mental health symptoms and maintain sobriety together.
This integrated expertise means patients don’t have to choose between treating addiction or mental health. Here, both are addressed with equal focus, creating the best chance for lasting progress.
Innovative, Real-Time Medication Management

Levels of Care
Dual diagnosis treatment moves with you as your needs change. Each level of care connects to the next, so support continues from your first day in detox through outpatient follow-up.
Treatment often begins in detox or inpatient psychiatric care, where medical staff help you stabilize safely and manage withdrawal or acute symptoms. Once you’re steady, care shifts into residential treatment, where daily therapy and medical management help you understand what drives your symptoms and start rebuilding healthy habits.
When you’re ready, outpatient programs help you transition back to everyday life with continued therapy, medication support, and relapse-prevention planning. You stay connected to your providers while practicing the skills that keep you balanced and independent.

When People Finally Get the Right Care
Being a dual diagnosis center was a plus for me. I’ve been able to stay clean and sober as well as rebuild my marriage and reconnect with my children. If you have family or friends that suffer from mental illness and substance abuse I highly recommend contacting ICFR.
I’ve struggled over a decade with both mental health and substance abuse issues; it’s been incredibly challenging to find a facility that could address my dual diagnosis. I discovered Indiana Center for Recovery and I am SO GRATEFUL that I did. They helped me address significant trauma and process personal issues that were negatively affecting my ability to be successful in recovery.
I truly enjoyed my experience at ICFR and learned great tools on how to cope with my emotions, traumas, addiction, and past experiences. The staff, med team, and techs do a wonderful job helping you with anything you may need. I would recommend ICFR to anyone with dual diagnosis issues, mental and addiction treatment.
