What dual diagnosis treatment is

Co-occurring disorders, or a dual diagnosis, means a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety or PTSD alongside a substance use disorder. These programs list people with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders among the groups they offer a special program or group for, on their FindTreatment.gov record. Ask whether the same team treats both. It fits when a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD or bipolar disorder goes along with drinking or drug use, and each makes the other harder to manage. Treating only one of them often means the other pulls you back.

The days look like other addiction treatment (groups, individual counseling, time with a prescriber), with mental health care built in: therapy for the condition, a psychiatric medication review and a plan that covers both. Ask whether one team treats both, or whether you will be sent elsewhere for one of them.

Not sure which level fits? Find your fit asks four questions, and IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care compares them. A program will also assess you and recommend a level of care.

Questions about dual diagnosis treatment in Denver

Which addiction treatment programs for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders in Denver take Medicaid (Health First Colorado)?

38 list Medicaid on their records: Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, Denver Health and Hosp Authority, Denver Health Community Detox, Guardian Recovery, Sandstone Care and 33 more. Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: if your card names a health plan, the program has to be in that plan's network.

What insurance do they take?

35 accept private insurance, 18 Medicare and 17 TRICARE. The plans named most on their own websites: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (14), Cigna (14), Aetna (13) and UnitedHealthcare (12). A program that doesn't name your plan may still take it: call the number on your insurance card and ask whether the program is in network for dual diagnosis treatment, whether you need prior authorization, and what you'll pay.

How much does dual diagnosis treatment cost in Denver?

Cima Find Care doesn't list prices: what you pay depends on your insurance, the program and how long you need care. Of these 45 programs, 44 take cash or self-pay, 17 have a sliding-scale fee set by income, 17 list state or federal funding for substance use treatment, which can pay for people without insurance and 1 says it takes no payment at all. Before you start, ask the program to check your benefits and to put the daily or weekly price in writing.

How long does dual diagnosis treatment last?

It depends on the level of care it comes with: dual diagnosis can be offered in residential, PHP, IOP or outpatient care. Many people need longer or more follow-up care than for addiction alone, because there are two conditions to treat. Ask the program how it decides when to step you down.

What should I bring?

A photo ID, your insurance or Medicaid card, a list of your medicines and doses, and your doctors' names and numbers. The first visit is mostly an assessment and paperwork, so it can take longer than a regular session.
