Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

Recovery from both substance use disorder and mental health disorders requires a comprehensive approach to care. Stairway Resource Center offers dual diagnosis treatment in Los Angeles using a 12-Step approach, combined with individualized mental health treatment. We treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and more. However, our goal is to support stabilization before trauma work. From there, our drug or alcohol rehab team will apply integrated psychiatric + therapeutic care and, of course, perform re-evaluation of diagnoses to ensure you are receiving the proper care needed to progress in your recovery process.

Family Involvement and Support Throughout Treatment

When to Seek Help for Addiction or Mental Health

It is common to miss the warning signs of substance use or co-occurring disorders. As a result, many people don’t seek support until they feel they’ve hit rock bottom. However, early intervention and community support can help you recognize the lead-up to severe addiction. 

Warning signs of SUD include: 
  • Repeated relapse
  • Worsening mental health symptoms
  • Isolation or loss of control
  • Difficulty functioning in daily life
