Co-occurring Disorders
Integrated Treatment.
When addiction and mental health conditions occur together, both must be treated simultaneously for lasting recovery. At Integrity Treatment Partners in Baldwin, Long Island, our integrated approach addresses both conditions together— not just the symptoms.
Conditions We Treat Together
Co-occurring disorders (also called dual diagnosis) require specialized, integrated care. We treat both conditions at the same time.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety often co-occur with substance use as people self-medicate.
- CBT & exposure therapy
- Non-addictive medications
Depression
Major depression and persistent depressive disorder frequently accompany addiction, making recovery more difficult.
- Medication management
- Behavioral activation
PTSD & Trauma
Post-traumatic stress and unresolved trauma are major drivers of substance use. We provide trauma-informed care.
- EMDR therapy
- Trauma processing
Our Integrated Approach
Full Assessment: Our psychiatric team evaluates both your mental health and substance use to create a unified treatment plan.
Medication Management: Our prescribers coordinate psychiatric medications with any MAT medications, avoiding dangerous interactions.
Integrated Therapy: Individual and group therapy sessions address both conditions simultaneously, recognizing how they influence each other.
Why Integrated Care Matters
- Treating only addiction leaves mental health issues to trigger relapse
- Treating only mental health ignores how substances worsen symptoms
- Medications must be carefully coordinated
- Coping skills must address both conditions
- Recovery is more sustainable with integrated treatment
