Your Path to Healing Starts at Mt. Sinai
Dual Diagnosis
Addressing mental health disorders and addiction in one cohesive program.
Georgia Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Mental health disorders and addiction often occur together. That’s why it’s essential for rehab centers to offer dual diagnosis treatment. At Mount Sinai Wellness Center, we provide structured programs to address co-occurring disorders. These behavioral health problems often contribute to addiction. Identifying and managing both conditions helps reduce the risk of relapse and supports long-term recovery.

How Does Dual Diagnosis Treatment Work?
Dual diagnosis begins with medical detox. This helps clear substances from the body in a safe, supervised setting. After detox, residents begin therapy to address both addiction and mental health.
Treatment often includes:
- Cognitive and behavioral therapies
- Medication management when appropriate
- Skill-building for emotional regulation
- Support groups and peer connections
- Wellness activities like yoga and mindfulness
Each part of your plan is designed to reduce distress and build long-term coping strategies. The goal is to create real change that reinforces recovery inside and outside the rehab setting.
Licensed Dual Diagnosis Therapists
Our licensed therapists specialize in treating co-occurring disorders with skill and compassion. They use proven methods like:
- CBT to shift unhelpful thoughts
- Motivational interviewing to build engagement
- Trauma-informed plans for past pain
- Relational approaches that foster trust
Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps residents understand how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. At Mount Sinai, therapists use this model to identify distorted thinking patterns and guide healthier responses. CBT supports growth by building self-awareness and teaching tools to manage triggers tied to both addiction and mental health.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a structured approach designed for emotional regulation and impulse control. It’s especially helpful for residents with co-occurring disorders like Borderline Personality Disorder or a history of self-harm. DBT sessions focus on finding balance between acceptance and change, using practical strategies to reduce distress and build resilience.
