Integrated treatment for substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD — treated simultaneously, by the same clinical team, in one place.
Most people with addiction also have a mental health condition. Treating only one leaves the other to drive relapse.
Licensed psychiatrist provides medication management and diagnostic clarity from day one.
Same therapists, same psychiatrist, same care plan. No bouncing between treatment providers.
The reality is most people with substance use disorder also have a mental health condition — and most people with serious mental health conditions develop substance use issues at some point. The two feed each other. Treating only one and ignoring the other is one of the biggest reasons people relapse after rehab. Our entire program is built on the assumption that you probably have both, and we'll treat them together.
Every client at Elijah's House is assessed for co-occurring mental health conditions during intake. If you have an existing diagnosis, our psychiatrist reviews your medications, adjusts as needed, and integrates your mental health care into your addiction treatment plan. If you've never been formally diagnosed but symptoms are present, we work with you to clarify what's going on. Mental health work isn't a side appointment here — it's woven into every group, every individual session, every interaction with the team.
Out-of-network options and private pay welcome. Verification takes about an hour.
Dual diagnosis (also called co-occurring disorders) means you have both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition. The most common combinations are addiction with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.
If you only treat the addiction, the underlying mental health condition continues driving the urge to use. If you only treat the mental health condition, the addiction continues sabotaging your progress. Integrated treatment addresses both at once.
No. Our psychiatrist reviews your current medications and adjusts as clinically appropriate. We don't ask anyone to stop antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or non-controlled psychiatric medications. Medications like benzodiazepines or stimulants may need adjustment if they're contributing to addiction.
About 30% of our clients arrive with no formal mental health diagnosis but with significant symptoms — depression, anxiety, trauma responses. Our psychiatric assessment helps clarify what's going on. Sometimes it's a co-occurring disorder, sometimes it's substance-induced symptoms that resolve in early recovery.
Yes. Treatment for co-occurring disorders is covered by most major insurance plans under both behavioral health and medical benefits. We handle the verification and authorization process.
