Dual Diagnosis Treatment in San Diego
OUR DETOX OPTIONS
What is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis refers to a situation where an individual has both a mental illness and a substance use disorder. People who are depressed may use drugs or alcohol to deal with their symptoms. This type of medicating can lead to an increased risk of substance abuse.
When it comes to addiction and mental health difficulties, it can be exceedingly tough to manage the two. Restore Detox Centers offer dual diagnosis treatment at our San Diego facility. We aim to help patients lead a healthy lifestyle and achieve long-term sobriety.
There is no scientific explanation for the relationship between addiction and mental disease. However, a dual diagnosis treatment facility can help those who suffer from both conditions. Some treatment centers do not specialize in treating dual diagnosis disorders. It is important for individuals with dual diagnosis disorders to find a treatment center that has experience treating dual diagnosis patients.
During a dual diagnosis clinical examination, our medical specialists will determine whether an inpatient or an outpatient setting is appropriate. We know the importance of choosing a detox center for yourself or a loved one. And we are available to answer any questions about the treatment process and our dual diagnosis programs.

Types of Dual Diagnosis
Various types of dual diagnosis can be categorized in three ways:
Addiction & Trauma
In most cases, substance abuse arises from early- or adult-life trauma. Its prevalence can, however, also cause future trauma. People suffering from substance use disorder may be more likely to be in unsafe situations, leading to trauma.
Often, those who have been traumatized avoid acknowledging their grief. They have no desire to revisit painful memories or reawaken old wounds. It is common for people who have been through traumatic circumstances to turn to substances such as drugs or alcohol. Many people may use these substances to help them deal with their emotions.
Addiction & Mental Health
According to the American Medical Association, around 50% of all patients with major mental illness also have a substance use disorder. There is a strong correlation between substance misuse and mental health issues. In many cases, these disorders can heighten each other. For instance, substance use can worsen depression or anxiety.
Despite the significant connection between substance addiction and mental health concerns like depression, one does not directly cause the other. We know that most people with mental health disorders use drugs and alcohol to reduce their symptoms.
Substance use and abuse can be a means for people with mood swings or social awkwardness to cope with their feelings. Individuals coping this way will only find a short term "fix" to their problems. Ultimately, therapeutic treatment is more effective at treating mental health conditions. In addition, substance abuse has detrimental long-term effects and aggravates the signs and symptoms of mental illness over time.
Here are the most frequent mental health issues that arise simultaneously with substance abuse disorders:
- Bipolar disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Anxiety
- Schizophrenia
- Depression
- Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Restore Detox Centers is top notch. Would recommend to anyone. The staff is incredible, they don't enable and are so patient. I still love going back to groups up there and know I'm always welcomed with a smile.

Restore was an amazing place for me to start my journey in sobriety. The staff really knew what they were doing and are willing to go above and beyond to help people who are willing to get help. Other places I've been haven't treated me nearly as well and they really did cater to anything that was reasonable for me. Thank you Restore for giving me back my life.
