Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment

When Addiction Isn’t the Only Struggle — You Need a Program That Treats the Whole You

Addiction is hard enough. But when it comes with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health challenge, it can feel impossible to untangle what’s really going on — or where to begin healing.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And more importantly: you’re not broken. You’re carrying more than one challenge — and Freedom Healthcare Services is built to help you carry less.

We specialize in treating co-occurring disorders, sometimes called dual diagnosis — when mental health and addiction exist side by side. We don’t ask you to fix one before the other. We treat both at the same time — in the same place — with people who truly understand.

What Are Co-Occurring Disorders?

Co-occurring disorders (CODs) happen when a person experiences both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition. One often worsens the other, making recovery difficult without an integrated treatment plan.

Examples include:

Drinking or using drugs to cope with anxiety or panic

Relapsing during depressive episodes

Using stimulants to self-manage undiagnosed ADHD

Emotional trauma fueling cravings or compulsive use

Opioid or alcohol use alongside bipolar disorder or PTSD

Many people don’t even realize they have a co-occurring condition until treatment begins — but the signs are often there: mood swings, isolation, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or impulsivity alongside substance use.

How We Treat Co-Occurring Disorders at Freedom

Unlike traditional rehab or outpatient programs that treat addiction and mental health separately, Freedom offers a unified, wraparound model of care.

Your recovery plan may include:

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioids or alcohol
Individual therapy using trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioral methods
Dual diagnosis counseling to explore how mental health symptoms and substance use interact
Group therapy with others navigating both addiction and emotional health
Relapse prevention focused on managing stress, relationships, and emotional triggers
Telehealth support for consistent, flexible access to care

We coordinate your care with a single team — therapists, MAT providers, case managers — so that nothing gets lost between appointments or referrals.
