Dual diagnosis, also called co-occurring disorders, describes a substance use disorder occurring alongside a mental health condition. At Lexington Addiction Center, treatment planning considers the relationship between both conditions rather than addressing substance use in isolation.
Care may involve individual and group therapy, trauma-informed approaches, relapse-prevention work, mental health support, and coordination with appropriate medical or psychiatric professionals. Specific services and treatment intensity depend on assessment, clinical needs, and availability.
Our Lexington outpatient setting allows eligible clients to participate in structured treatment while living at home. People who need medical withdrawal management or a higher level of supervision should first be evaluated for the appropriate setting.
A structured daytime treatment option for people who need more frequent clinical support while not requiring overnight residential care. Treatment planning may address both substance use and mental health needs.
A structured treatment schedule that can support people managing co-occurring symptoms while maintaining some work, school, or family responsibilities.
Ongoing therapeutic support for individuals who can safely participate at a lower intensity, including continued work on triggers, coping skills, and relapse prevention.
Discharge and continuing-care planning can help clients maintain connections to recovery supports, outpatient therapy, and other appropriate resources.
Treatment may focus on understanding anxiety triggers, building coping skills, and reducing reliance on alcohol or drugs to manage distress.
Care can address substance use patterns alongside persistent low mood, emotional instability, and related challenges.
Trauma-informed treatment recognizes the effects of difficult experiences and supports recovery without requiring clients to recount trauma before they are ready.
A careful assessment helps determine the level of mental health and substance use support needed, including referral or coordination when specialized care is appropriate.
Assessment and planning: The first step is understanding substance use history, mental health symptoms, withdrawal risk, safety needs, and the most appropriate level of care.
Coordinated therapeutic care: Individual and group sessions can help clients identify connections between symptoms, substance use, relationships, and daily functioning. Treatment may incorporate evidence-based behavioral approaches and trauma-informed support.
Medication and psychiatric coordination: Medication may be appropriate for some conditions, but availability and prescribing arrangements must be confirmed during assessment. Medication-assisted treatment for alcohol or opioid use disorders may be considered when clinically appropriate and available through the care plan.
Relapse prevention and continuity: Clients work on coping strategies, recognizing warning signs, and connecting with appropriate continuing-care supports. Progress is reviewed as needs change.
Integrated care may be appropriate when alcohol or drug use occurs alongside anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood changes, or other mental health symptoms. Common concerns include using substances to cope with distress, repeated returns to substance use, difficulty managing emotions during recovery, or persistent mental health symptoms after stopping alcohol or drugs.
Not everyone is suited to outpatient care. Severe withdrawal, immediate safety concerns, or a need for round-the-clock monitoring may require a higher level of care. An assessment can help identify the safest next step.

Yes. Integrated care may address substance use alongside anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and other mental health concerns, based on an individual assessment.
Both can be options for some people. The right level depends on symptom severity, safety, treatment needs, and the ability to participate in outpatient care.
Some people require medically supervised withdrawal management before outpatient treatment. The need for detox should be evaluated clinically, especially with alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal risk.
Some plans cover eligible mental health and substance use treatment, but benefits, authorization, network status, and out-of-pocket costs vary. The admissions team can help review coverage.
