How to Help a Loved One with Co-Occurring Disorders

Supporting someone with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition is challenging. Understanding that both conditions fuel each other is the first step.

📚

Understand Both Conditions

Learn that substance use and mental health conditions are interconnected. Your loved one may be self-medicating depression, anxiety, or trauma with substances — treatment needs to address both.

🛑

Recognize Both Sets of Symptoms

Family members often see symptoms of both conditions: mood swings and depression alongside substance use behaviors. Document what you observe — it helps clinicians plan integrated treatment.

🤝

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Communicate clear boundaries while acknowledging the complexity of dual diagnosis. “I love you, and I know you’re struggling with more than one thing. I want you to get help for both.”

👥

Family Therapy for Dual Diagnosis

Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering how dual diagnosis affects the family system and how to support recovery for both conditions.

💚

Take Care of Yourself

Caring for someone with co-occurring disorders is exhausting. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group, and maintain your own mental health routines and boundaries.

💬

Advocate for Integrated Treatment

If your loved one has tried treatment for only one condition before and it didn’t work, integrated dual-diagnosis treatment may be the answer. Help them find a program that treats both simultaneously.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for people with co-occurring disorders to resist treatment. Denial may be present for one or both conditions — this doesn’t mean recovery is impossible, it means a different approach may be needed.

1

Consider a Professional Intervention

A structured intervention can help your loved one see how both conditions are affecting their life. Professionals trained in dual diagnosis can address resistance to both types of treatment.

2

Use Motivational Approaches

Rather than confrontation, express concern with empathy. Your loved one may acknowledge the mental health issue but deny the substance use, or vice versa — meet them where they are.

3

Set Clear Boundaries

Follow through on consequences you’ve communicated. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change for both conditions.

4

Explain That Both Need Treatment

Many people have tried treating only one condition before and relapsed. Gently explain that integrated treatment for both conditions together has significantly better outcomes.

5

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — suicidal thoughts, severe withdrawal symptoms, mental health crisis, or risk of harm — call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

📞

We Can Help Even If They’re Not Ready

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps, discuss intervention options, and help you prepare for when your loved one is ready to accept help.

Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment FAQ

Co-occurring disorders (also called dual diagnosis) is when someone has both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time. Common combinations include depression and alcohol use disorder, anxiety and opioid addiction, PTSD and substance abuse, or bipolar disorder and drug dependence. Both conditions interact with and worsen each other.

Treatment length varies based on severity and individual needs. Our PHP program typically lasts 4–8 weeks, IOP runs 8–12 weeks, and ongoing outpatient support continues as needed. Because both conditions require attention, co-occurring disorders treatment often benefits from a longer, step-down approach with continued support for both diagnoses.

Neither. At Trailhead, we treat both conditions simultaneously with integrated programming. Research consistently shows that treating only one condition while ignoring the other leads to poorer outcomes and higher relapse rates. Our integrated approach addresses substance use and mental health together from day one.

Our on-site Nurse Practitioner manages both addiction medications (MAT) such as Suboxone and Vivitrol, and psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and anti-anxiety medications. Having one provider manage both ensures safe coordination and prevents harmful interactions between medications.

Absolutely. Our Evening Professional Track (6–9 PM, Monday through Thursday) is specifically designed for working adults managing both conditions. We also offer afternoon IOP sessions and telehealth options. You can switch between time slots daily based on your work schedule.

Most major insurance plans cover co-occurring disorders treatment. We are in-network with Anthem BCBS, Point 32 Health (Harvard Pilgrim + Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense (NH Medicaid). Our admissions team can verify your benefits in minutes — call (857) 312-1697 or use our online form.

We use integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention — all designed to address both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously rather than in separate tracks.

We treat a wide range of mental health conditions co-occurring with substance use disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, trauma, personality disorders, and more. Our dual-trained clinicians are experienced in addressing the complex interactions between these conditions and addiction.

Yes — family involvement is strongly encouraged. We offer individual family therapy sessions plus monthly Zoom family education groups covering how dual diagnosis affects the family system, codependency, and how to support recovery for both conditions. Open to any family member 18+, past and present clients.

True integrated treatment — not separate addiction and mental health tracks. Our dual-trained clinicians address both conditions in every session.
