What is Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis is the term for living with the effects of one or more mental health conditions, at the same time as one or more substance use disorders. This could mean living with anxiety until nightly drinking turns into daily drinking, or pain pills that are used to offset the lows of depression. In short, it means that one issue exacerbates the other, or masks it from detection, and treating them separately is only a temporary solution. If this sounds like you or someone you care about, finding dual diagnosis treatment centers in New Jersey should be a natural next move.

At Epiphany Wellness’ program, we treat the whole picture, the whole individual, with dual diagnosis treatment in NJ. During the intake phase, our team screens for a wide range of mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, personality concerns, and the full scope and history of drug and alcohol use. Then we build a single coordinated plant for the addiction treatment along with any co-occurring disorders, as well as medication management, relapse prevention, and ongoing aftercare.

The dual diagnosis treatment in NJ offered by Epiphany Wellness is a comprehensive, full-day program that spans from morning to afternoon, allowing you to return home and sleep in your own bed each evening. There will be an equal focus on symptom management, core therapy skills, improving communication, and developing coping skills. Since you go home each evening, it creates an ideal ongoing opportunity to test the coping tools learned during the day and report back the following treatment day.

Having a high level of integrated care substantially lowers the overall risk of relapse while improving your emotional stability in nearly all situations. These benefits can make a dramatic difference for you or your loved ones in starting a recovery that actually lasts.

Dual Diagnosis at Epiphany in New Jersey

Our Dual Diagnosis Program

We ensure that a multidisciplinary team, including an addiction specialist, psychiatrist, and primary therapist, reviews everything. They’ll collaborate with you to create a single plan to treat your co-occurring disorders in our leading dual diagnosis rehab. Your unique needs will be incorporated into your dual diagnosis program, ensuring you participate in effective treatment designed to facilitate long-term recovery.

One of the pillars to addressing your substance abuse treatment with co-occurring mental health disorders will be consistency in your treatment services. Your mornings will generally include a vitals check-in, symptom monitoring for both medication and withdrawals, and core groups for therapy. Morning therapy will focus on evidence-based modalities, such as holistic lifestyle interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, wellness treatments, and dialectical behavior therapy. Afternoons will follow a track that includes individual counseling, relapse prevention education, and mindfulness or experiential support groups.

How Dual Diagnosis Works

An effective dual diagnosis treatment in NJ will follow an organized and flexible arrangement of treatment options that adapt to your needs. The process starts with a complete biopsychosocial assessment.

We’ll review your mental health history, substance use patterns, medications, medical issues, and even your personal needs for safety and accountability. This screening helps us identify depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and countless other mental health issues that we may need to craft interventions for.

Then, we focus on creating a single, integrated plan that encompasses mental illness and behavioral health, ensuring the CBT, DBT, and relapse prevention goals remain aligned. Each week, we’ll assess and measure your progress. If our data indicates obvious spikes in craving or changes in mood stability, the medication can be adjusted quickly. This way, when you’re ready to step down to a lower level of care, we can fully coordinate the move. Whether you’re prepared for inpatient, IOP, or traditional outpatient, we help you find the right treatment.

Dual Diagnosis Conditions We Treat

01

Depression

When low mood and alcohol or drug use fuel each other, progress stalls. We combine medication management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and activity scheduling to help elevate energy, reduce cravings, and establish a daily structure at home in New Jersey.

Learn More
02

Anxiety

Panic, social anxiety, and worry often drive substance misuse. DBT distress tolerance, exposure practice, and mindfulness skills help you face triggers without reaching for a drink or pill.[1] Medication adjustments support steady progress.

Learn More
03

Bipolar

Shifting mood states can undo sobriety plans. Psychiatric monitoring stabilizes medications while therapy builds sleep routines, mood charts, and early warning plans that protect recovery through both highs and lows.

Learn More
04

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Flashbacks and hyperarousal push many people toward self-medication. EMDR, grounding strategies, and gradual trauma processing reduce symptom spikes so you don’t need alcohol or drugs to numb pain.[2] Family education supports safety.

Learn More
05

Impulse Control Disorders

Compulsive gambling, gaming, or risky spending lights up reward pathways like substances do. CBT mapping, contingency planning, and accountability check-ins lower urges and cut relapse risk.

Learn More
06

Borderline Personality Disorder

Rapid emotion swings and relationship crises often trigger use. Our DBT track teaches emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and crisis planning so you can stay connected without relapse.

Learn More
07

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Intrusive thoughts and rituals drain focus from recovery. Exposure and response strategies plus medication review shrink compulsions and free time for addiction trials.

Learn More
08

Trauma

Long-term or childhood trauma can hide under anger, shame, and body-based tension. Body-based regulation, narrative therapy, and safe pacing help you heal from the past while strengthening your coping skills in daily life.

Learn More
09

ADHD

Impulsivity, distraction, and missed appointments can derail treatment.[3] Structured planning tools, focused coaching, and careful medication oversight help you stay committed to recovery tasks across work, school, and home in New Jersey.
