What Is a Dual Diagnosis?

A dual diagnosis (also called co-occurring disorders) means having a mental health condition and a substance use problem at the same time. They often feed each other: drinking to calm anxiety, using to escape depression, or substance use making mood swings worse. Treating only one usually is not enough.

Common Combinations We Help With

Medication-assisted treatment

Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication-Assisted Treatment

Care for both conditions can include medication. We offer psychiatric evaluations, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combined with counseling as part of outpatient treatment. A clinician will talk with you about whether it fits.

  • Psychiatric evaluations

    A psychiatric evaluation looks at your mental health alongside your substance use.

  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)

    Suboxone and Sublocade (buprenorphine) are used for opioid use disorder; Vivitrol (a monthly naltrexone injection) and naltrexone tablets for opioid or alcohol use disorder.

  • 01

    A medical assessment

    Individuals undergo a thorough assessment by our medical team, which helps the physician determine the appropriate course and level of MAT, including the best medications for an individual’s particular needs.

  • 02

    Medication and therapy together

    MAT combines pharmacological treatment (medications) with behavioral treatment (evidence-based therapies) that is tailored to a patient’s unique needs. Many people have been helped in recovery through this whole-patient approach.

  • 03

    Support for recovery

    MAT is a multifaceted approach to treating substance use disorders that has been shown to significantly reduce cravings, mitigate the rewarding effects of certain drugs, and lead to a decrease in both alcohol consumption and the continued use of other substances. Its primary objective is comprehensive recovery.

Our approach

Why Integrated Care Works Better

  1. One treatment plan, not two.

    Your mental health and substance use goals live in the same treatment plan.

  2. One team that talks.

    No bouncing between separate programs with separate rules.

  3. Licensed for both.

    RPC is licensed by the NYS Office of Mental Health and the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports.

How do I know if I have a dual diagnosis?

You do not need to know before you call. A licensed clinician will assess both your mental health and your substance use at your first visit.

Which should be treated first?

In integrated care, both are treated together, because each affects the other.

Is this an inpatient dual diagnosis program?

No. We provide outpatient care, so you live at home and attend sessions at our clinics or by telehealth.

Do you offer psychiatric evaluations and medication?

Yes. We offer psychiatric evaluations, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with Suboxone, Sublocade, Vivitrol or naltrexone, combined with counseling. A clinician will talk with you about whether it fits. We can also coordinate with your doctor or psychiatrist.

Does Medicaid cover dual diagnosis treatment?

We accept most Medicaid plans.
