A dual diagnosis is a mental health condition and drug or alcohol addiction that occurs at the same time. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) states that people with a mental illness are more likely to experience a substance use disorder than those who do not have a mental illness. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health 2018 found that approximately 9.2 million adults in the United States have a dual diagnosis.
With so many people affected, and after years of under-diagnosis and under-treatment, healthcare providers and government agencies are now focusing on effective treatment programs for dual diagnosis.
If you or a loved one has a mental health concern and an addiction, you will find all the information you need here to understand more about the condition and the help that is available.

What Is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis is a term used to describe when someone simultaneously has a substance use disorder and mental health condition. Other words used to describe this situation are comorbidity and co-occurring disorder. While some people use the terms interchangeably, others recognize a difference between them as follows:
Comorbidity
This term is used when someone has two conditions, but they do not necessarily have to be present simultaneously. With comorbidity, consideration is given to whether one disorder is a consequence of the other. While this can apply to substance use disorder and mental health concerns, it can also apply to other health conditions. These conditions can be psychological, physical, or a mixture.
Co-occurring disorder
The term co-occurring disorders may include any combination of two or more substance use disorders, mental disorders, and physical conditions. Many people with addiction have co-occurring disorders beyond mental health concerns. For example, one in ten new HIV diagnoses in the US is related to injection drug use, meaning that individuals can have co-occurring substance addiction and HIV.
Dual diagnosis
This term relates to just two conditions, hence the name “dual.” Dual diagnosis is often used to describe someone with an alcohol or drug addiction and mental health condition. However, it can also relate to other conditions, such as substance use disorder and diabetes.
The National Institute of Mental Health states that a dual diagnosis may be made when someone has a substance use disorder and a mental health illness such as:
What Can Cause Someone To Have a Dual Diagnosis?
There can be various reasons why someone may receive a dual diagnosis. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) states that mental health conditions can cause substance use disorders (and vice versa). For this reason, it can be difficult to identify which came first as, for many people, the conditions are diagnosed at different times.
Furthermore, historically, addiction and mental health conditions have been diagnosed and treated in isolation, with little understanding of the link between the two. Environmental, genetic, and childhood influences can also affect the chance of someone receiving a dual diagnosis.
The Impact of Mental Health on Addiction
Individuals with mental health concerns are more likely to abuse substances and develop a substance use disorder, and those with severe mental illnesses are at a higher risk. Studies have concluded that the more severe the mental illness, the greater the likelihood that the person will also use or abuse illicit substances. Reasons why more than half of people with a serious mental health illness also have an addiction include:
Self-medicating
Some people with mental health conditions may choose to self-medicate to cope with or relieve the symptoms of their mental illness. Individuals with mental disorders perceive their symptoms as treatable and act purposefully to mitigate them through the use of substances.
As the person becomes used to the medication and tolerance develops, they may use it more frequently or in higher doses to have the same effect. The person can become reliant on the substance to function and may not even realize that they have an addiction.
Shared Triggers
As well as coping with the symptoms of their mental illness, individuals may also seek external coping mechanisms for stressful or triggering situations. If they struggle to manage their thoughts and feelings internally, they may experience a mental health episode or turn to drugs or alcohol to block out their surroundings or numb their emotions.
Impulsive Behavior
Studies have shown that impulsivity leads to a high frequency of comorbidities, such as substance use disorders. Impulsivity is a common trait among those with particular mental illnesses.
For example, someone with bipolar disorder experiencing a manic episode may display enhanced cognitive behaviors. These include increased energy and attention span, and the inability to assess risk effectively, which leads to impulsive decision-making.
Certain Mental Illnesses
The chance of developing an addiction is related to the severity of a person’s mental illness as well as their specific diagnosis. Studies have shown that certain personality disorders are linked with chronic substance use.
Examples of personality disorders that may increase the likelihood of addiction are:
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Dependent Personality Disorder
- Antisocial Personality Disorder
- Paranoid Personality Disorder
- Schizoid Personality Disorder
The Impact of Addiction on Mental Health
The use of drugs and alcohol can worsen or even cause mental illness. Addiction is a mental illness in itself, as substance abuse can majorly impact brain function, which encourages drug-seeking behavior.
Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health states that there is well-supported scientific evidence that substance use disrupts three areas of the brain. These areas are important in the onset, development, and maintenance of substance use disorders. One 2010 study found that drugs are particularly detrimental to the well-being of individuals whose cognitive performance is already compromised by a mental disorder. In other words, people with a mental illness are more susceptible to the impact of drugs on the brain than those without a mental illness, making them more likely to develop an addiction.
The three areas of the brain that are impacted by drug use are:
- The triggering of substance-seeking cues: This creates the desire to take the substance repeatedly to achieve feelings of pleasure and reward.
- Reduced brain sensitivity: The brain becomes less sensitive to pleasure and reward, meaning taking more of the substance is necessary to have the same effect.
- Reduced decision-making abilities: Substance use can make someone unable to regulate their actions and emotions and impairs their ability to make healthy decisions. This can lead to impulsive choices without considering the consequences, which is a common factor in the excessive use of drugs and alcohol.
Furthermore, drug use can cause mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. One study found a progressive increase in depressive mood levels from non-drug users to users of legal drugs such as alcohol and finally to users of illicit substances. Those who used illegal drugs recorded the highest levels of depression. There are many reasons for this, including the impact a substance use disorder has on the overall quality of someone’s life.
As addiction progresses, all aspects of the user’s life can become detrimentally affected, which can cause them to become depressed. A further cause is the impact of drugs on hormone levels within the body. Drugs cause dopamine to be released in the brain, and fluctuating levels of this neurotransmitter impact a person’s mood. Studies have concluded that dopamine likely contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of depression.
Genetic and Epigenetic Influences
Alcoholism and drug dependence are common psychiatric disorders with a heritability (able to be transmitted from parent to child) of about 50%. This means that someone’s chance of developing an addiction is equally related to their genes and to their environment.
The same situation applies to mental health conditions. The National Institute of Mental Health has been studying the link between a person’s genes and their likelihood of developing a mental illness for the past 25 years.
Genetic Risks
If there is a history of addiction or mental health concerns within the family, an individual has an increased chance of suffering from the same conditions themselves. In addition, someone’s genetic makeup can influence their likelihood of developing a substance use disorder. Studies have detected rare gene variants that have an impact on addiction risk.
Epigenetic Risks
Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetics, epigenetic modifications are reversible. Substance use can change a person’s epigenetics. The same 2012 study found that this can alter someone’s initial response to a drug, continued response, and tolerance development, leading to addiction, withdrawal, and relapse.
Environmental Factors
Many environmental factors increase the risk of developing substance use disorders and mental illness, including traumatic experiences and stress. This can happen during adulthood or through experiencing stressful situations as a child.
Dual diagnosis among young people is particularly concerning. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that over 60% of adolescents in community-based substance use treatment programs also meet diagnostic criteria for another mental illness.
The Impact of Early Life Stress
Stress as a child is a well-established risk factor for many psychiatric and medical disorders, including substance use disorders (SUDs). During adolescence, the brain is still forming. Using substances at this time as a coping mechanism for stressful experiences can affect how the brain develops and cause permanent changes.
The changes that early life stress causes are an underlying pathophysiology associated with stress-related risk of addiction. This increases the chance of becoming addicted to substances or having a mental health disorder in later life.
The Impact of Stress
Exposure to stress increases the risk of developing mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Self-medication for these conditions using alcohol or drugs is common, and addiction can develop as a result.
Furthermore, studies have found that the stress-related processes in the brain influence addiction relapse, which means that stress also contributes to someone repeatedly returning to substance use after periods of abstinence.
The Impact of Trauma
When someone experiences a traumatic event such as an act of violence, assault, an accident, or the death of a loved one, they become more susceptible to mental health disorders and addiction. Often people self-medicate to cope with the unpleasant feelings, emotions, flashbacks, and nightmares they may experience following a traumatic event.
PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is linked to dual diagnosis, with women being more at risk than men. This is particularly relevant following traumatic events, most commonly deriving from a history of repetitive childhood physical and sexual assault.
What Are the Risks Associated With Dual Diagnosis?
Addiction or mental illness can detrimentally affect the individual with the condition or the lives of those around them. Someone with one of these conditions can struggle to maintain relationships, jobs, and a sense of self-worth while also experiencing deteriorating physical health.
When someone has a dual diagnosis, they are at risk of the same things, but the combination of both conditions means their risk is heightened in some areas. These increased risks include the following:
Chance of Relapse
Studies have shown that individuals with co-occurring severe mental illness and substance misuse problems have poorer treatment outcomes, including relapse, than those without a substance disorder. Unless both aspects are treated, the re-emergence of one will likely trigger the other, and the person will return to old habits.
Increase in Suicide Risk
One study of French prisoners found that a dual diagnosis is commonly found in prison and is a major risk factor for suicide. People with a dual diagnosis are at an increased risk of suicide due to the conflicting feelings, thoughts, and emotions that they experience. Furthermore, some withdrawal symptoms associated with substance abuse can exacerbate mental health concerns, such as severe anxiety and depression that can lead to thoughts of suicide.
Physical Health Problems
A 2008 study found that people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and substance use disorder struggle to maintain their physical health. This is because substance use compounds the physical health issues associated with having a severe mental illness.
People with a dual diagnosis generally struggle to look after themselves well, resulting in poor hygiene, diet, exercise, unprotected sexual activity, and other behaviors that can impact physical health. They are also more likely to experience cardiovascular and respiratory health complaints and diabetes.
Shortened Life Expectancy
Research has identified that those with a severe mental health illness or substance use disorder have a shorter life expectancy than those without these conditions. For example, one study concluded that schizophrenic men have a life expectancy of 18.7 years less than men without schizophrenia.
Having a dual diagnosis increases this further because, for example, an addiction to opioids reduces life expectancy by 14.7 years for men. The combined outcome of a man having a dual diagnosis of schizophrenia and opioid addiction is a severely reduced life expectancy.
Social Isolation and Homelessness
Family members and close friends are often affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol abuse or mental health illness. A dual diagnosis can make the situation even more challenging to understand, manage and resolve.
Breakdown in relationships, financial difficulties, and isolation from family and friends is common when someone has a dual diagnosis. As a result, individuals can find themselves without support or shelter, which is why dual diagnosis is highly prevalent among individuals experiencing homelessness.
Involvement in Violence and Self-harm
Individuals with a dual diagnosis are more prone to violence and self-harm than others. One study into heroin-addicted patients showed a frequent co-occurrence of aggression and bipolar spectrum disorder. This violence was directed toward others; however, the same study found that there is also a strong link with self-harm. Conversely, another study found that patients with a dual diagnosis were more likely to have been a victim of violence, property crime, and vandalism than the general population.
What Are the Signs of Dual Diagnosis?
Many of the signs that someone has a mental health condition and addiction simultaneously are similar to those displayed when someone suffers from just one of the conditions. These signs include isolating oneself from friends and family, being secretive, lacking motivation for work, school, or hobbies, and changes in sleeping and eating habits.
There are, however, some specific signs that you can look out for that may mean that someone is experiencing a mental health illness at the same time as a substance use disorder. A National Institute of Health study published in 2020 stated that dual diagnosis is underestimated, underdiagnosed, and often poorly treated worldwide.
Therefore, knowing what to look out for and where to seek help can positively impact someone’s long-term recovery. Signs of dual diagnosis include:
Extreme mood swings
Drug addiction and mental health concerns can invoke mood swings, depression, and anxiety. If someone is particularly suffering from instability in terms of moods and emotions and seems unable to control them, they may simultaneously be experiencing the effects of both conditions.
Requiring substances to retain emotional stability
If your loved one repeatedly resorts to substances to maintain their emotional stability, they may have developed a reliance on the drug to manage their mental health symptoms.
Experiencing trauma
As discussed previously, trauma can significantly impact someone’s mental health or susceptibility to addiction. Signs may appear following an incident that is, or was, traumatic.
Treatment for one of the conditions has not worked
Often, someone with a dual diagnosis will find that therapy for just one of their conditions is ineffective and that the untreated condition triggers a relapse. For example, 12-step programs such as the ones offered by Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous are designed to target addiction but not mental health disorders.
What Can I Do if Someone I Know Receives a Dual Diagnosis?
If a loved one has received a dual diagnosis, you may be wondering what you can do to support their recovery. The individual may have already received treatment for one of the two conditions and, therefore, should contact their doctor or treatment center for advice. If they do not have a professional to contact, there are many resources available that can provide trusted and confidential information for the person affected or their loved ones.
Examples of sources of help include:
Rehab.com Free Helpline
Rehab.com offers a free helpline for confidential advice about treatment options for yourself or your loved one. Call (833) 386-0206 to find treatment providers specializing in dual diagnosis.
SAMHSA 24/7 Helpline
SAMHSA also has a free, confidential, and bilingual helpline. Advice is available 24/7 at 1-800-662-HELP (1-800-662-4357).
Start With Your Doctor
Local medical professionals are a good source of information about the treatment available in the area. Primary care can be the first step on the road to recovery because it is convenient for patients. It can also reduce the stigma associated with treatment for mental disorders and builds on existing provider-patient relationships.
The Best Treatments For Dual Diagnosis
Treating dual diagnosis can be challenging. In the past, dual-diagnosis conditions were not diagnosed or treated effectively. Treatment providers would focus on mental health or addiction rehabilitation but rarely treat the same patient for both simultaneously.
The impact of this was that often those with both conditions would find that treatment was ineffective as their untreated condition would trigger their treated condition, and they would relapse. Studies have since identified that accurate detection and diagnosis of individuals with psychotic illnesses co-occurring with addictive disorders is vital to treat such disorders properly.
SAMHSA acknowledges that having two conditions can complicate diagnosis and treatment. As a result, they offer evidence-based resources to help providers screen, diagnose, and deliver integrated care to patients with co-occurring disorders.
Finding a treatment center specializing in dual diagnosis treatment is important. The staff will be aware of the requirements of patients and familiar with the most effective therapies and techniques. Patients can also meet and bond with other patients in similar situations to them. Examples of some of the treatment approaches proven to be most effective for dual diagnosis include:
Integrated Treatment
SAMHSA recommends integrated treatment for those with a dual diagnosis. Integrated treatment coordinates mental and substance use interventions through individualized and personalized services that treat both conditions’ physical and emotional aspects.
The advantages of integrated treatment are as follows:
- Abstinence or reduced substance use
- Improvement in mental health and cognitive functioning
- Reduced chance of relapse and increased likelihood of long-term recovery from both disorders
- Improved quality of life
- Less chance of hospitalization or requiring medical intervention
- More stability in terms of housing
- Reduced chance of getting into trouble with law enforcement
“No Wrong Door” Policy
To aid in the detection of those with a dual diagnosis, SAMHSA promotes a “No Wrong Door” policy to ensure that everyone accessing health care services for addiction treatment is routinely screened for mental health issues and vice versa. Many individual states have since adopted this policy. The Californian Department of Health Care Services implemented a “no wrong door” policy in July 2022.
SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP)
The Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Persons with Co-Occurring Disorders: A Treatment Improvement Protocol offers best-practice guidelines for healthcare practitioners about how to treat co-occurring disorders.
The guidelines recognize that dual diagnosis is treatable, but some adaptations may need to be made depending on the treatment center and the individual patient. The essential services required by patients with substance use disorder and addiction are:
Person-centered
Individualized treatment is essential to enhance the chance of recovery.
Trauma-informed
Treatment programs should identify and address personal trauma.
Culturally responsive
The treatment on offer should be mindful of cultural differences in order to achieve the best results for the patient.
Recovery-oriented
The goal of all dual diagnosis treatment should be full recovery from both conditions.
Comprehensive
Everyone’s treatment needs and responses are different, and treatment programs must adapt and work for all patients.
Continuously offered across all levels of care
Those with a dual diagnosis require all aspects of their condition to be addressed at all times in order to enhance the chance of long-term recovery.
The Treatment Options for Dual Diagnosis
The course of dual diagnosis may be chronic and severe, requiring many long-term therapeutic and rehabilitative programs. Therefore you must find the right treatment for you. As with separate mental health or substance abuse treatment programs, help with a dual diagnosis can occur in various treatment facilities and settings.
The most appropriate treatment plan will depend on the substance or substances that someone is addicted to, which mental health conditions they have, and whether or not they have received treatment. Furthermore, those with specific needs, such as young adults or veterans, may need help from specialized treatment facilities tailored to their requirements.
Examples of treatment options for dual diagnosis include:
If someone has an addiction to a substance, they may need to undergo a detox in an environment where medical professionals can monitor and manage any withdrawal symptoms they have. Often this detoxification is required before someone can embark on other addiction and mental health treatment.
This involves residential treatment with attention from addiction and mental health professionals to address the issues surrounding the person’s dual diagnosis. The goal is to address the causes of the dual diagnosis, assess behavioral health, and develop new coping mechanisms for dealing with triggering situations without resorting to past behaviors. The treatment may include individual counseling using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and holistic treatment such as meditation and yoga.
Outpatient treatment allows a person to remain at home and attend school and work while receiving treatment for their dual diagnosis conditions several times a week. The treatments on offer can include couples or family therapy, where those closest to the person affected are involved in the rehabilitation process.
A core element of successful rehabilitation is ensuring that the patient has the support they need once they complete their initial treatment program. This can include living at a sober living home for a period or joining support groups.
If you, or a loved one, receive a dual diagnosis, it can be challenging to know what to do next. Online searches may bring up treatment options for one condition or the other, but it is crucial to treat both to maximize your chances of long-term recovery.
Full rehabilitation from both conditions is possible with the right treatment program. Rehab.com can help you find the ideal treatment provider and treatment plan to address your mental illness and substance use disorder.

I have been to several treatment facilities and this one is by far the best one i have been to. Not only is the facility clean and well kept, the faculty that works there have amazing hearts. This is the only treatment facility that i have been to where the staff actually genuinely care for you and your recovery/well being. They have a unique treatment plan that works. Unlike many places I have been to instead of boring you to death, they actually make recovery fun, which in my experience has a lot to do with being able to succeed in recovery. I have recommended multiple friends and family members to go here when they are struggling with addiction and will continue to recommend Steps to Recovery to anyone who asks how i got clean and remained clean. I owe my life and my recovery to these people and they will always have a special place in my heart.

I recently “graduated” from STR. I was in programming between May to September, originally PHP and then in the IOP mental health program. While in PHP I was in housing as well. There are family sessions offered too, but I did not utilize that service while at STR.
While the house I was at was not perfect, administration tried their best to accommodate every concern clients had with the house. It was overall a clean and safe environment to live in. If there are any concerns advocate for yourself and ask a tech to call a house meeting if it is an interpersonal issue within the house. If you have a different issue communicate that to the director and it will most likely be handled promptly.
The PHP (partial hospitalization program) for mental health is six days a week, 9am-1:30 Monday-Friday and 9am-12pm Saturdays. The program changes as needs change. When I first began there process groups were three hours long, but when I left they were two hours long with an additional hour of psych ed. While the day may seem long, everyone gets a break between noon and 12:30. Afternoon there are different types of therapy everyday like art therapy, DBT, CBT.
IOP (intensive outpatient program) is only 9am-12pm three days a week, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The director is accommodating though so if for any reason you need to not go on a Monday, you could always go on a Saturday if you advocate for yourself.
You’ll have one individual session a week with one of the clinicians. I had Ashley and she is phenomenal. While the staff really do care about the clients, Ashley definitely cares about clients and it shows in her work.
You’ll also have a session with either Dr. Newman or Monique once a week to go over medications they are both amazing!
STR is shaped not just by the staff, but clientele too. I have reinforced and grew my support system while being at STR. And while I was in the mental health program, I have substance use disorder as well, I’d recommend Steps to recovery struggling with their mental health or substance use. It may take a couple of weeks to really settle into the program, but continue to do the work since you are worth it and advocate for yourself if something isn’t working for you.
STR is also a great facility if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community. The staff here are not just accepting, but affirming. There is an optional LGBTQ+ group once a week with Christian, which was my favorite part of the week.

When I decided to go into detox , I was ashamed and embarrassed for having gotten to the point of needing it, and intimidated by getting it. The minute I arrived at Boca Recovery Center, all of that went away. The entire staff, from Case Workers to Doctors, Nurses, Coordinators, Therapists, – everyone– was so professional, kind, friendly, caring , informative, supportive , and helpful. I was so comfortable and my condition improved everyday. It was one of my best decisions to go there and be guided by them to better health. I haven’t felt this strong and healthy in 5 years. I thank the people at Boca Recovery Center with all of my heart. Love and mercy to everyone.

Sober life is the absolute BEST place to be if you are struggling. I went in 2020 and didn’t complete, and they welcomed me back with open arms march of this year and I went through completion. I have had the opportunity to stay in their network by getting care at SD wellness for psychiatry. Over this holiday week I had forgotten about my refill of a medication I need, I got in contact with Dan from alumni since I forgot what their hours were for thanksgiving and Black Friday, and by today (saturday) I have my refill! I got a personal call from Dr Amaro and got squared away. I’ve never found a medical group that listens, cares, and has better communication than here. I am so happy with this process and will always come back if I need it! Highly recommend!

This is Maxwell Kremin a former and proud patient. I came to Jaywalker after a very bad experience at another treatment facility. Over there, there was a clear focus on money over treatment. This is the exact opposite of Jaywalker. Jaywalker would not spare a dime if it meant that we would have a better experience during recovery. The staff are incredible and the other patients I met were some of the most amazing guys I’ve met in my entire life. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction this is hands-down the only place in America to send them if you truly care about them. I extend my sincerest appreciation to all still working at Jaywalker.

So 4 outta five is high for me. This place is far from perfect. But if you think there’s a perfect treatment center out there, it’s time to snap back. Let’s be honest, for those of us looking for places like this online, our lives are far from perfect. Typically we’re looking for excuses why not to go rather than reasons to go. I never read the reviews because someone always has an ax to grind. Instead of grinding axes, I’ll just say this time was different. 6th trip in 2&1/2 yrs to treatment. Places I’d rate higher. But it was Windward Way where I was able to find the missing pieces of my puzzle and my hidden secrets that were keeping me sick. You only get out of treatment what you put in. I entered detox with the gift of desperation. It wasn’t amenities and luxuries that made the difference. It was a frontline staff that lives and breathes recovery and genuinely cares about the clients. All the BHTs, group facilitators, my therapist, case worker, & med staff pour their souls into this work. Their love and concern overrides any complaints I could muster. I’m the hardest of cases. The breath in my lungs is a legion of miracles. But the fact that I’m happy joyous and free today is a testament to the effort, care, and concern of people like Mark, Tony, Ottis, Jerald, Sina, Andrew, Saul, Kenny, Andria, Adam, Kelly, Nick, Shaina, Didi, Casa, Thomas, Sarah, Emily, Bryce, John AKA Pouter, Josh, Matt (still got hair envy bro), Gauge, Armand, of course Javon, PA Shapiro (I hope that’s right because his management of my PAWS was spot on) and a few other angels whose names allude me at the moment.
Go meet them. It just might save your life, family, job, freedom, and/or many other things. Give yourself a break. Check your pride at the door, stop making excuses and let these people show you a better way live. Besides, there are worse places to get clean and sober than Orange County, SoCal!!!
What y’all thought I wouldn’t have good stuff to say?! I’m SOBER not stupid. Now anyways. Thanks Windward Way!!!

I am a born pessimist, so I spent a great deal of time looking into this place. First, I found nothing negative whatsoever, Secondly, I spent 60 days here and cried leaving. This place and ALL of it’s staff saved my life. I can remember spending countless times in the nurses station, at the wellness advocates desk, and even in the Blanco hall, talking to the different staff about my days, my problems, my achievements, etc. And EVERY SINGLE PERSON TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN AND HELP OR CHEER ME ON!! There’s not a staff member in this place that doesn’t care about each person. The therapy sessions are incredible and I can’t thank them enough for showing me I wasn’t hopeless and giving me all the tools I need to have a beautiful, healthy and sober life.

Stop researching treatment centers because this one is hands down the best!! I’ve been to several treatment centers and The Ridge is in a league of their own- for all the good reasons! Yes, it is a beautiful home like atmosphere with a lot of luxuries and outstanding food but the main reason I found The Ridge so helpful to me was the loving and supportive staff and amazing program. And the support doesn’t stop when you leave! I enrolled in IOP and am plugged into the many alumni events they host. My recovery community is filled today with Ridge Alum and I owe my recovery to the tools I learned at The Ridge and all the continue support I get from them.

Hi, my name is Jenna, and I am a trash Panda alcoholic. I am not ashamed that I needed help. The quality of the staff is preeminent, and the curriculum is outstanding. I learned the names of almost all the BHTs and the culinary staff because everyone had a hand in my recovery process. This treatment center has a heart for YOUR recovery. It is dual diagnosis, so I recommend that if you have struggles with mental health, addiction, or adulting is just very difficult, and you need time to rediscover who you are, this is the place to be. They make sure you feel physically and emotionally safe while you peel back layers of trauma and begin the process of unbecoming all your limiting beliefs. For far too long, we have listened to that voice of doubt in our heads that is not us. They help you focus a lens on yourself to truly understand who you are and maybe discover your purpose.
You have to do the work and want it, but all the tools are at your fingertips. The facility itself could use a little updating, but I wasn’t there for a vacation. Keep in mind everyone is on their journey, and do not let that distract you from yours. If you are open to it, you can get a handle on your trauma, set goals, and become physically and mentally more steadfast and fit. The food is pretty good with plenty of healthy options and snacks. Shout out to Cameron and Nicole in culinary, I loved seeing your happy faces during mealtime. If you would like a smoothie or a coffee, Mama Missy and Loretta have got you. Speaking of treating your body well, Nicole and Ann Marie will get you spiritually fit and in tune with your body’s ability through amazing and encouraging yoga. If you can discipline your time and make the most of it, going to the gym for boxing is a life changer. Coach Ray and Ernest will push you to respect yourself and realize you are truly a gift from above. Nursing staff is also epic, Tim and Denise are just medical angels!
As for therapists, I named the ones I learned the most

Shoutout to my case manager AMANDA for helping me every step of the way throughout my journey! It is very important to have an aftercare plan. I decided to move back to NY and she helped provide me an IOP regarding my aftercare.
HUGE thanks to ALL the techs that made my stay truly amazing. Shoutout to KEITH, Shannon, Rose, T, Ant, Joey, Telyssa, & all the other techs that made my stay worthwhile. I truly couldn’t have done this without them.

I had a great experience at footprints (IOP 5) March to June of 2025. The staff were very caring and supportive. There was a wide variety of different groups and classes available to choose from and I was given a lot of autonomy to shape my own recovery.
There were ups and downs along the way but the staff stayed focused on forward progress and didn’t let missteps derail me. You get out of it what you put in. If you come to Footprints ready to put in the work, you will succeed no matter what you have been through or how severe your struggles are. They helped me with mental health issues as well as giving me tools to battle my dependency on substances. I am very grateful to everyone at Footprints for empowering me to save my own life and I believe in a better future for myself.

This place is great as far as accommodations go. They offer private rooms, catered/chef prepared food for lunch/dinner. Group facilitators and staff are professional and care for their clients.
