Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
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
Mental Health Conditions That Often Occur With Addiction
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 mental health 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
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
- Complicated or Unresolved Grief
- Thorough Evaluation – Your care team takes time to understand how mental health symptoms and substance use interact, so treatment targets the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
- Individualized Care Plans – Treatment is tailored to your needs, drawing from both mental health and addiction expertise to create a plan that fits your situation.
- Evidence-Based Therapies – Proven approaches like CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, and medication management help address both conditions at the same time.
- Coordinated Support – Therapists, doctors, and support staff work closely together so your mental health and addiction treatment stay aligned.
Focus on Long-Term Stability – Care includes relapse-prevention planning and ongoing mental health support to help you stay stable after treatment.
This approach means you don’t have to choose between treating addiction or mental health.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment at Every Level of Care
Mental health and addiction are treated together at every stage of care at Indiana Center for Recovery.
Some people begin in detox or inpatient psychiatric care, where doctors help stabilize withdrawal symptoms and urgent mental health concerns. From there, many move into residential dual diagnosis rehab, where daily therapy and medication support focus on the underlying causes of both addiction and mental health symptoms.
As you progress, outpatient programs provide continued therapy, psychiatric care, and relapse-prevention support while you transition back into everyday life. This approach helps ensure that mental health and addiction are addressed together throughout treatment.

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.
