Keep reading to learn more about what dual diagnosis is, the signs and symptoms of co-occurring disorders, and how our Georgia mental health programs can help.
What Is A Dual Diagnosis Disorder?
Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder in the same individual.
This combination is more common than many realize, and without proper treatment, both conditions can exacerbate each other. When someone struggles with mental health, they may turn to drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication, which often worsens their mental state. Similarly, substance use can trigger or worsen mental health conditions.
At Kingston Wellness Retreat, we specialize in treating both aspects of dual diagnosis simultaneously. By addressing the root causes and interactions between these disorders, we offer a path to lasting recovery.
Signs and Symptoms of Co-Occurring Disorders
Co-occurring disorders manifest differently in each person, but some common signs and symptoms include:
- Substance Use to Cope with Emotions: If you find yourself using drugs or alcohol to manage anxiety, depression, or other emotional pain, this could be a sign of dual diagnosis.
Worsening Mental Health - Symptoms: Substance use can intensify feelings of sadness, anxiety, or confusion, making it harder to manage mental health conditions.
- Behavioral Changes: Sudden mood swings, social isolation, risky behaviors, and neglecting responsibilities can indicate the presence of both mental health and substance use issues.
- Difficulty in Functioning Daily: Struggling to maintain a job, relationships, or even daily hygiene due to mental health and addiction challenges is a hallmark of dual diagnosis.
Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking professional help can prevent further complications. Our team at Kingston Wellness Retreat can help guide you through the next steps.
How Do I Know I Need Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
It can be difficult to determine whether you need dual diagnosis treatment on your own. However, if you feel overwhelmed by both mental health and substance use issues and have tried unsuccessfully to stop using drugs or alcohol on your own, it might be time to seek professional help.
If your mental health symptoms persist or worsen with substance use, dual diagnosis treatment is essential.
Our dual diagnosis treatment in Georgia is tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals who struggle with co-occurring disorders. We assess both the mental health and substance use aspects of your condition, allowing us to create an individualized plan that addresses your unique challenges and goals for recovery.
Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs in Georgia
At Kingston Wellness Retreat, we offer a range of dual diagnosis treatment programs, each designed to meet your needs depending on the severity of your condition and your personal goals. Our experienced team works closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that incorporates evidence-based practices and innovative therapies.
Residential Treatment
Our Residential Mental Health Treatment provides a structured, supportive environment where you can focus solely on recovery. This program is ideal for individuals who require intensive support and round-the-clock care to manage their dual diagnosis. In this safe, therapeutic setting, you’ll have access to individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic treatments that promote mental and physical healing.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
For those who need comprehensive care but are ready to live off-site, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a balance between high-level support and independence. PHP allows you to participate in intensive therapy sessions during the day while returning to your home or sober living environment in the evenings. This program is perfect for those who are transitioning out of residential care or who have significant support at home.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides flexible treatment options that allow you to continue working or attending school while receiving the care you need. IOP includes several weekly therapy sessions focused on coping mechanisms, relapse prevention, and mental health management. It’s designed for those with less severe co-occurring disorders or for those who have completed residential or PHP care.
Outpatient Rehab
For individuals who are further along in their recovery or have milder co-occurring disorders, Outpatient Rehab offers ongoing support and treatment while you continue living your everyday life. This program allows you to access therapy and other services as needed while maintaining your daily routine. Outpatient rehab can be an excellent step-down from more intensive treatment or a standalone option for those with manageable symptoms.

How Are Dual Diagnosis Disorders Treated?
Effective dual diagnosis treatment requires an integrated approach. At Kingston Wellness Retreat, we combine traditional therapeutic methods with innovative techniques to address both the mental health and substance use aspects of your diagnosis.
Psychiatry
Our Psychiatry Services provide expert medication management to help balance chemical imbalances in the brain. Medications can stabilize mood disorders, reduce cravings, and help control symptoms of mental health disorders.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one individual therapy is the cornerstone of our treatment plans. In Individual Therapy, you’ll work closely with a licensed therapist to explore the root causes of your disorders, learn coping skills, and develop a personalized plan for long-term wellness.
Holistic Therapy
At Kingston Wellness Retreat, we believe in a holistic approach to healing. Our Holistic Therapies include yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and other mind-body practices that help reduce stress, enhance emotional balance, and promote overall well-being.
Genesight Testing
Our Genesight Testing offers cutting-edge insight into how your genetic makeup affects your response to certain medications. This test helps us tailor your treatment plan by identifying which medications are most likely to be effective for your specific needs.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy is an innovative treatment option that promotes mental health by improving sleep quality and reducing inflammation, which can improve mood and cognitive function.
Family Therapy
In Family Therapy, loved ones are brought into the recovery process, helping to repair relationships and build a supportive network. Co-occurring disorders can strain family dynamics, so we work to rebuild trust and communication within the family unit.
Group Therapy
Group Therapy provides a safe space to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. These sessions promote mutual support, shared experiences, and collective healing, all of which are vital components of long-term recovery.
