What Is Dual Diagnosis?
When we talk about dual diagnosis, we’re referring to the challenges you or your loved one might face when living with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time.
In our experience at Luxe Recovery, many people seeking dual diagnosis care in Los Angeles are living with combinations like alcohol use disorder alongside major depressive disorder, stimulant use paired with bipolar disorder, or opioid use with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
We also frequently work with patients managing anxiety disorders (including generalized anxiety disorder) trauma, personality disorders, and schizophrenia, often in combination with substance use.
For example, you might be a professional who turned to alcohol during a period of overwhelming anxiety, or a couple coping with the impact of trauma and opioids in your relationship.
