Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs
A Structured Path Toward Healing
Integrated care is vital for successful recovery from dual diagnosis. At Stairway Resource Center, our dedicated mental health professionals collaborate closely with addiction specialists to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs. This unified approach ensures that no aspect of an individual’s health is overlooked.
Mental health plays a crucial role in the recovery process. An untreated mental health disorder significantly increases the risk for relapse, making it essential to address these conditions alongside substance use. Our programs emphasize understanding this relationship, empowering patients to develop healthier coping mechanisms and emotional resilience.
Evidence-Based and Spiritual Care Combined
Combining research-based therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic care methods, such as art therapy, can further enhance the healing process. We support and encourage body, mind, and spirit. Our team also develops dietary plans, spiritual support, exercise routines, breath work, and more. Finding a balance between both forms of care can better support recovery.
A Community Built on Connection
A supportive community is vital for maintaining sobriety and encouraging personal growth. At Stairway Resource Center, our mission is to provide structured, spiritual, and evidence-based recovery programs that foster community and connection, while treating severe mental health and addiction. We believe that the connections you make during treatment can be just as important as the therapies you receive. Through peer support and alumni involvement, individuals can build lasting connections that reinforce their commitment to sobriety. These relationships offer encouragement, shared experiences, and accountability.

- Schizophrenia: You may turn to drugs or alcohol to manage symptoms or cope with reality, complicating your mental health treatment.

At Stairway Resource Center, we believe in the power of personalized treatment plans. Our experienced clinicians conduct thorough evaluations to develop individualized strategies that address both addiction and mental or physical health challenges. We ensure that every treatment plan is tailored to meet your unique needs.
How Our Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders Stands Out
Recognizing the intricate relationship between mental health and addiction is essential for understanding dual diagnosis. Recovery from both substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health conditions necessitates a comprehensive strategy that addresses the whole person. At Stairway Resource Center, we prioritize a holistic approach that encompasses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of health. By integrating evidence-based practices with compassionate support, we aim to enhance your recovery journey.
Evidence-Based Modalities and Approaches
At Stairway Resource Center, we believe in the power of personalized treatment plans. Our experienced clinicians conduct thorough evaluations to develop individualized strategies that address both addiction and mental illness. This may include approaches such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), neurofeedback, brainspotting, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Family and Community Involvement
Addiction and mental health struggles can strain relationships with family and friends. Therefore, family involvement is crucial in the recovery process. Our family therapy sessions encourage open communication and healing, fostering a supportive environment for all involved. We want you to heal as a family.
Holistic and Wellness Practices
Holistic care supports recovery by strengthening the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Alongside clinical and 12-step work, we integrate practices such as mindfulness, breath work, movement, nutrition planning, and spiritual reflection to help individuals build balance, resilience, and long-term stability.
When to Seek Help for Dual Diagnosis
Recognizing the Signs
Learning to recognize the signs and symptoms of co-occurring disorders is essential for seeking timely help. Common indicators may include:
- Changes in sleep and appetite: Disruptions in these areas can signal distress
- Increased substance use: Escalating use of drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism
- Mood swings and emotional instability: Fluctuations in mood can signal underlying mental health issues
- Anxiety and panic attacks: Intense feelings of anxiety may drive self-medication
- Withdrawal from social activities: Isolation can exacerbate both addiction and mental health struggles
- Difficulty concentrating: Trouble focusing can affect both personal and professional life
The Risks of Untreated Dual Diagnosis
Neglecting to address mental health issues alongside substance use can lead to serious consequences, including:
- Increased risk of overdose: Untreated mental health disorders can drive higher substance use and increase the risk of overdose.
- Deterioration of personal relationships: Addiction and mental health struggles can strain relationships with family and friends.
- Job loss and financial instability: The impact of co-occurring disorders may affect job performance and financial security.
- Legal issues: Substance use can lead to risky behaviors, resulting in legal troubles.
Given these significant risks, it is essential to pursue a tailored treatment plan that addresses both mental health and addiction.
