Who This Page Is For

Adults who experience both mental health symptoms and substance or behavioural dependence. Common patterns include anxiety with alcohol, depression with cocaine, ADHD with stimulants, PTSD with sedatives, eating disorder rules alongside prescription misuse, or bipolar features with irregular substance use. If privacy, pacing, and senior continuity matter, this setting fits.

What Dual Diagnosis Means In Real Life

  • Two problems travel together and keep each other going. Alcohol blunts panic in the evening, then sleep debt fuels next-day anxiety. Stimulants lift attention, then the crash worsens low mood.
  • Safety behaviours and substance rules grow quietly. Life narrows around relief cycles, secrecy, and avoidance.
  • Change holds when we address both conditions in the right order with the right intensity, not when we chase symptoms separately.

Typical Pairings We Treat

Anxiety, Panic, OCD

Depression, Burnout

ADHD, Bipolar, Trauma

  • ADHD with stimulants or cocaine
  • Bipolar spectrum with alcohol or sedatives
  • PTSD with alcohol, ketamine, or prescriptions

Our One-to-One Model For Dual Diagnosis

We use a clear, humane order of operations so work is safe and effective.

  1. Stabilise: sleep window, nutrition rhythm, hydration, and device boundaries. Early wins lower arousal and improve judgement.
  2. Safety first: risk screen, withdrawal risk, medication review, and clear thresholds for medical coordination.
  3. Sequence: choose the first driver to target. For example, reduce alcohol that blocks anxiety therapy, or stabilise mood before deep trauma work.
  4. Integrate: therapy, routines, and where appropriate, medication coordination with your prescriber.
  5. Generalise: practise skills in everyday contexts, then protect gains with aftercare and accountability.

Stabilisation And Withdrawal Overview

Not all dual diagnosis cases require detox. When they do, we coordinate medical care. When withdrawal is primarily psychological, we use structure and monitoring.

  • Alcohol and benzodiazepines: may require medical oversight. We plan safe reduction and step down. See Alcohol and Prescription rehab.
  • Stimulants (cocaine, amphetamines): mood crash, fatigue, cravings, sleep rebound. We anchor rhythm and target cue chains. See Cocaine.
  • Opioids: medical review as needed; structured relief strategies and relapse prevention. See Opioids and Heroin.

Therapies And Methods We Use

  • MET to resolve ambivalence and set a clear change contract.
  • CBT for high-risk thoughts, avoidance, and behaviour experiments.
  • DBT skills for emotion regulation and urge tolerance.
  • ACT to anchor behaviour to values when symptoms surge.
  • IPT for role transitions, conflict patterns, and grief.
  • Body-based regulation such as TRE and functional breathing; mindful movement and yoga therapy.
  • Creative and relational options: art, movement, and family sessions.
  • Optional one-to-one 12-Step counselling if you value step work without groups.

Medication Coordination

Medication can support change when used well. We do not over-rely on it. We coordinate carefully with your prescriber, monitor effects and side effects, and time therapy so behaviour change is central. If you arrive with an existing plan, we optimise routines and sleep to reduce rebound and interaction risks.

Daily Rhythm And Example Day

  • Morning individual therapy or coaching; short implementation block with accountability.
  • Midday psychoeducation, calm outdoor time, regulated meals.
  • Afternoon targeted session such as CBT, DBT skills, ACT, or trauma-informed work when ready.
  • Evening wind-down routine, screen hygiene, and sleep support.

What To Treat First: A Simple Rule

We choose the first target that unlocks the most change safely.

  • Safety or medical risk leads. If alcohol or benzodiazepines create medical risk, we coordinate safe reduction before deep therapy.
  • Blockers next. If cocaine use blocks sleep and therapy, stabilise rhythm and reduce use first.
  • Then depth work on anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, or grief once capacity improves.

Benzodiazepines And Anxiety

Relief is real, but tolerance and rebound often worsen anxiety and sleep. We introduce non-drug skills, practise taper-support routines, and coordinate with prescribers. See Anxiety Treatment and Prescription rehab.

ADHD, Stimulants, And Cocaine

Unmanaged ADHD can drive stimulant seeking. We add executive function coaching, external time, and routine anchors while addressing use. Where appropriate, we coordinate ADHD medication with your prescriber so behaviour change remains central. See ADHD Treatment and Cocaine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which do you treat first, the mental health issue or the substance use?

Safety and blockers guide the order. If there is medical risk from alcohol or prescriptions, we coordinate safe reduction first. If stimulant use blocks sleep and therapy, we stabilise rhythm and target use, then deepen mental health work.

Do I need detox?

Not always. Many cases stabilise with structure and monitoring. When detox is indicated, we coordinate medical care and step back to one-to-one therapy once safe.

Can you coordinate medication?

Yes. We do not over-rely on medication. We coordinate with your prescriber, monitor effects and side effects, and time therapy so behavioural change remains central.

Can family be involved?

With your consent, we offer education and boundary work so support helps without enabling or pressure.

How long should I stay?

Length of stay depends on severity, co-occurring conditions, and goals. Many clients extend in measured steps as sleep and mood stabilise and skills consolidate.

Is my stay discreet?

Yes. Admissions are confidential with unbranded transfers and a quiet arrival. See Confidentiality and Location.
