Why Trailhead

Advantages of Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment

What sets our integrated approach apart from other treatment programs in New Hampshire.

Truly Integrated Treatment — Both substance use and mental health are treated by the same clinical team simultaneously — not sequentially or in separate programs.

Unified Medication Management — Our on-site NP manages medications for both conditions — MAT for addiction plus SSRIs, mood stabilizers, or other psychiatric medications.

DBT & CBT Skills Groups — Targeted skills training addressing both addiction triggers and mental health symptoms in integrated group sessions.

Flexible Scheduling — Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions so treatment fits around work, school, and family responsibilities.

12:1 Counselor Ratio — Smaller caseloads mean your therapist understands the full picture of both your addiction and mental health needs.

Weekly Individual Therapy — Private sessions with your assigned clinician every week addressing the interplay between your substance use and mental health.

MAT + Psychiatric Medication — Vivitrol, Naltrexone, SSRIs, mood stabilizers, and other medications coordinated by one prescriber for optimal results.

Family Therapy & Education — Monthly family groups via Zoom plus individual sessions to help families understand dual diagnosis and support recovery.

Holistic Approaches — Breathwork, yoga, meditation, and outdoor activities that benefit both mental health and addiction recovery simultaneously.

Case Management Support — Help with employment, housing, life skills, and community resources to support long-term recovery.

Warning Signs

Signs of Co-Occurring Disorders

When substance use and mental health disorders occur together, they reinforce each other. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward integrated treatment.

  • Using substances to cope with anxiety, depression, or emotional pain
  • Increased tolerance or needing more to achieve the same effect
  • Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop using
  • Continued use despite negative consequences at work, school, or relationships
  • Persistent anxiety, depression, or mood swings that don’t improve with sobriety
  • Using substances to self-medicate panic attacks, flashbacks, or insomnia
  • Difficulty functioning in daily life even when not actively using
  • History of mental health symptoms before substance use began
  • Mental health symptoms worsen during substance use and withdrawal cycles
  • Previous treatment for one condition failed because the other wasn’t addressed
  • Suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or dangerous behavior involving both conditions
  • Complete inability to maintain stability without integrated professional help
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs, integrated treatment can help. Call us at (857) 312-1697.

For Families

How to Help a Loved One with Co-Occurring Disorders

Supporting someone with both substance use and mental health challenges requires understanding and patience. Here’s where to start.

1

Understand the Dual Diagnosis

Substance use and mental health disorders feed each other. Your loved one isn’t choosing to be difficult — they’re fighting two interconnected conditions that require integrated treatment.

2

Avoid Enabling Either Condition

Well-meaning actions like excusing substance use due to mental health or ignoring mental health symptoms during sobriety can prolong the cycle. Both conditions need attention.

3

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Healthy boundaries protect both you and your loved one. Communicate clearly what behaviors you will and won’t accept while acknowledging the difficulty of managing two conditions.

4

Explore Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Understanding how dual diagnosis affects the whole family system is essential.

5

Take Care of Your Own Health

Your mental health matters too. Consider individual therapy, Al-Anon, NAMI Family Support Groups, or other resources for families navigating dual diagnosis.

6

Advocate for Integrated Treatment

Many programs only treat one condition at a time. Advocate for integrated treatment that addresses both substance use and mental health simultaneously — research shows it produces better outcomes.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Call (857) 312-1697
When They Say No

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for someone with co-occurring disorders to resist treatment, especially if past single-diagnosis programs failed. Here’s how to navigate that.

Path 1
Consider a Professional Intervention
A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation about integrated treatment. This process helps your loved one understand that treating both conditions together offers a better chance at recovery.
Path 2
Use Motivational Approaches
Rather than ultimatums, use open-ended questions and reflective listening. Express concern without judgment: “I’ve noticed things have been harder lately — would you be open to exploring something different?”
Path 3
Set Clear Boundaries
Boundaries are not punishments — they’re protections. Communicate what you’re willing to accept and follow through. Acknowledge that previous treatment may have failed because both conditions weren’t addressed.
Path 4
Understand the Stages of Change
People move through pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Your loved one may not be ready today, but every honest conversation about integrated treatment plants a seed for tomorrow.
Path 5
Know When to Call for Help
If your loved one is in immediate danger — severe withdrawal symptoms, suicidal crisis, or overdose — call 911. For non-emergency guidance, our admissions team is available to help even if your loved one isn’t ready.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Co-occurring disorders (also called dual diagnosis) means having both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder at the same time — such as alcohol addiction with depression, opioid use with PTSD, or cocaine use with anxiety.

Our on-site NP creates a unified medication plan addressing both conditions. This may include MAT medications (Vivitrol, Naltrexone) for addiction alongside SSRIs, mood stabilizers, or anti-anxiety medications for mental health.

Substance use and mental health disorders reinforce each other. Treating only one often leads to relapse in the other. Integrated treatment with CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention for both conditions produces significantly better outcomes.

We don’t provide medical detox on-site, but we coordinate with trusted detox facilities and can typically begin integrated dual diagnosis treatment within 24–48 hours post-detox.

PHP typically runs 20–30 days, IOP runs 60–90 days, and ongoing outpatient support continues as needed. Dual diagnosis treatment may take longer than single-diagnosis care, but integrated treatment produces better long-term outcomes.

Yes. Our Evening Professional Track meets 6–9 PM Monday through Thursday, specifically designed for working adults. IOP also offers morning and afternoon session options.

Most major insurance plans cover dual diagnosis treatment. We accept Anthem BCBS, Point 32 (Harvard Pilgrim/Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense (NH Medicaid). Contact us to verify your specific benefits.

You’ll step down to IOP or outpatient care, enroll in our alumni program for ongoing peer support, receive external therapist and psychiatrist referrals for both conditions, and maintain access to family support resources.

Absolutely. We offer individual family therapy sessions plus monthly family education groups via Zoom. These cover understanding dual diagnosis, family systems, and integrated recovery support. Open to any family member 18+.

Our truly integrated approach, unified medication management, flexible scheduling, 12:1 counselor caseloads, and staff trained in both addiction and mental health make us uniquely equipped for dual diagnosis treatment.
