Millions of people struggle with substance use disorder (SUD) every year. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 48.5 million people aged 12 or older had SUD in 2023. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be surprising to learn that many of these individuals also struggled with a mental health condition. Dual diagnosis treatment becomes critical in cases where a person struggles with addiction and mental health. Continue reading to learn why that is today!
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center in Los Angeles: Supporting Your Path to Recovery
Understanding Dual Diagnosis Treatment
People with SUD are at an increased risk of developing one or more conditions, including mental health conditions. Vice versa, it’s not uncommon for people with a mental health condition to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol and become dependent. When a mental health condition and SUD coexist together, it’s known as a co-occurring disorder.
What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
As mentioned, dual diagnosis treatment becomes critical when co-occurring disorders are involved. Dual diagnosis is an approach to addiction treatment that addresses both the SUD and mental health conditions involved. Unfortunately, many individuals avoid seeking treatment for all conditions they’re struggling with. Doing so becomes even more challenging when faced with other barriers to treatment.
Barriers to Treatment for Dual Diagnosis Clients
Dual diagnosis clients face many barriers preventing them from seeking treatment. That includes:
- Stigmas and barriers surrounding addiction and mental health
- Treatment challenges due to experiencing overlapping symptoms
- Lack of professionals equipped to manage SUD and other mental conditions

At Profound Treatment, we understand that effective treatment for dual diagnosis requires an integrated, individualized approach. Treatment plans must address both mental health and substance use. Profound’s programs are designed to do just that.
Our Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Treatment
After entering our Los Angeles facility, clients undergo an assessment to identify specific factors regarding their diagnoses. These assessments help our staff create personalized treatment plans that address substance use and mental health concerns, ensuring each client receives the most effective treatment.
Integrated Treatment Strategies
Further, we offer integrated programs that help a wide variety of individuals. Some of the core programs we offer include:
- Drug and alcohol detox
- Inpatient treatment
- LGBTQ+ program
- Vocational rehab and life skills program
- Transgender residential program
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Modalities
Of course, your dual diagnosis treatment plans will differ from those of fellow clients. However, there may be some consistencies. That includes the evidence-based therapeutic modalities we may implement into your individualized treatment plans. Some of those include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
- Trauma and family therapy
- Somatic experiencing therapy
- Psychodynamic therapy
Holistic and Supportive Therapies for Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Along with the many modalities listed above, we integrate holistic practices and supportive therapies into our comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment. That may include experiential and adventure therapy, equine and adventure therapy, art and music therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.
Long-Term Addiction and Mental Health Recovery and Aftercare Support
Of course, individuals must remember that recovery from SUD and addiction is more than the treatment process. It requires aftercare help and long-term support. Our commitment to long-term recovery extends beyond the initial detox and inpatient treatment.
We at Profound offer comprehensive aftercare services, including:
- Individual and group therapy
- Family therapy and support
- Alumni and community activities
- Sober living arrangements
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
Through these services and our program, we reinforce the coping strategies and healthy habits developed during treatment. Further, we’ll monitor progress, provide an added layer of security to help address any challenges and increase access to community resources.
Relapse Prevention Education
Along with aftercare support, relapse prevention education is equally necessary. Understanding triggers and managing them is a key part of recovery from SUD. That includes dual diagnosis. Our relapse prevention program equips clients with the tools needed for effectively maintaining long-term sobriety and managing their mental health.
Identifying Triggers and Coping Strategies
A significant part of relapse prevention is helping clients identify personal and environmental triggers, develop coping strategies, and strengthen decision-making skills. Doing so can help you manage difficult emotions and stressful situations. Ultimately, the goal is managing one’s stress and challenges in a healthy way that helps people stay sober.
Additionally, these aftercare services will help you expand your support network of peers, professionals, and other alumni. Again, our treatment extends beyond the initial treatment. Our focus is a whole-person approach to treatment that helps clients get sober, transition out of treatment, and live a life of long-term sobriety.
