Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment (IDDT)

With IDDT, we strive to improve the quality of life for people with co-occurring severe mental and substance use disorders by combining substance abuse services with mental health services.

Counselors, clinicians, or multidisciplinary teams provide integrated treatment to support recovery from co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders. They use specific listening and counseling skills to guide individuals’ awareness of how mental and substance use disorders interact and to foster hopefulness and motivation for recovery. They use cognitive behavioral techniques to assist individuals who are working to reduce or eliminate substance use or who want to prevent relapse and maintain recovery from both disorders.
