– WHAT IS DUAL-DIAGNOSIS? –

The Link Between Addiction and Mental Health

Dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurrence of substance use and mental health disorders. At Dunham House, our focus is on addiction treatment. For individuals also facing mental health challenges, we provide support by connecting them with our trusted network of mental health partners. Through a range of evidence-based addiction therapies, we address complex conditions and help reduce the long-term risk of relapse..
