Dual Diagnosis Treatment Canada
Breakthrough Recovery Centre provides comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment in Canada for adults experiencing co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Our integrated approach addresses both conditions simultaneously, recognizing the complex relationship between mental health and addiction.
When mental health challenges and substance use occur together, treating one without the other often leads to relapse. At Breakthrough, care is coordinated, clinically led, and designed to support long-term stability and recovery.
What Is Dual Diagnosis?
- Anxiety disorders and substance use
- Depression and alcohol or drug dependence
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) with substance use
- Mood disorders with prescription, alcohol, or illicit drug use
- Emotional dysregulation alongside behavioural or chemical addictions
Integrated care ensures that both mental health symptoms and addictive behaviours are addressed together, not in isolation.
When Dual Diagnosis Treatment Is Needed
- Use substances to cope with anxiety, depression, or trauma
- Experience worsening mental health symptoms during sobriety
- Relapse due to untreated emotional or psychological distress
- Have a history of treatment that addressed only addiction or mental health
