Dual Diagnosis Treatment in California

Dual diagnosis treatment in California addresses addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder simultaneously, using integrated care rather than treating them separately.

In California, dual diagnosis residential treatment is delivered under state licensing by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). Licensed residential facilities meet clinical standards including 24-hour staff coverage, licensed counselors and medical staff, evidence-based programming, and discharge planning. Most accept private insurance, Medi-Cal through participating counties, and some offer sliding-scale or scholarship-based admission for those without coverage.

Integrated treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. The specific mix of therapies, length of stay, and amenities varies by facility — which is why our directory organizes facilities by county and city, so you can find programs that match your location, insurance, and clinical needs.
