Home » Substance Use Treatment » Dual Diagnosis Treatment
If you’re struggling with both your mental health and substance use challenges, you don’t have to navigate them separately. Foundations Group Recovery Centers provides integrated dual diagnosis treatment on Cape Cod that addresses both conditions at the same time.
Our team helps individuals from across Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts build a personalized recovery plan through our full range of substance use treatment programs, including day treatment, half-day treatment (IOP-level care), outpatient, and virtual treatment options designed to support long-term healing.
A dual diagnosis (also called co-occurring disorders) means you’re living with both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder—for example, anxiety and alcohol use, depression and opioids, or PTSD and stimulants.
At Foundations Group Recovery Centers, dual diagnosis isn’t an add-on—it’s built into the way we treat substance use. Our programs are designed to address:
Instead of getting help for “addiction” in one place and “mental health” in another, you work with one care team and one integrated plan.
You might benefit from dual diagnosis treatment at Foundations Group Recovery Centers if:
Even if you’re not sure what your diagnosis is, we can help you figure out what’s going on—and what kind of support you need.

Ongoing therapy and support while you rebuild daily life.
Dual diagnosis treatment from home, for Massachusetts residents.

We don’t just want you to stop using. We want you to sleep better, think clearer, feel steadier, and rebuild relationships—with support for both your brain and your sobriety.

Traditional addiction treatment may focus mainly on stopping substance use, building relapse prevention skills, and creating accountability in recovery. Those are important goals, but they may not be enough when anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition is also part of the picture.
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses substance use and mental health symptoms together. This matters because untreated mental health symptoms can make recovery harder, and ongoing substance use can make mental health symptoms worse. When both are treated as connected parts of the same recovery process, clients can build stronger coping skills, better emotional stability, and a more realistic long-term plan.
At Foundations Group Recovery Centers, dual diagnosis care is integrated into treatment rather than treated as a separate add-on. Our team helps clients understand how mental health and substance use affect each other, then builds an individualized plan that supports both sobriety and emotional wellness.
People seeking dual diagnosis treatment may be living with a wide range of mental health concerns alongside substance use. Common co-occurring conditions can include:
Some clients arrive with a formal diagnosis. Others know that something feels wrong but are not sure what to call it yet. Either way, our team can help assess what is happening and recommend a level of care that supports the full picture.
Dual diagnosis treatment is not about labeling someone. It is about understanding the relationship between mental health symptoms and substance use so treatment can be more effective.

We’ll review your benefits and explain your options in plain language.
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions at the same time. This may include treatment for addiction alongside anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, bipolar disorder, or other mental health concerns. The goal is to create one integrated plan instead of treating each issue separately.
You may benefit from dual diagnosis treatment if mental health symptoms and substance use seem connected. For example, you may use substances to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood swings, or you may relapse when mental health symptoms become overwhelming. A clinical assessment can help determine whether integrated care is appropriate.
Yes. Anxiety and addiction are commonly treated together in dual diagnosis care. Treating anxiety without addressing substance use, or treating substance use without addressing anxiety, can leave important recovery needs unmet. Integrated care helps clients build coping skills for both.
Many insurance plans provide coverage for substance use treatment and related mental health services. Coverage depends on your specific plan, benefits, deductible, and recommended level of care. Foundations Group Recovery Centers can verify your insurance and explain your options before treatment begins.
Many clients can participate in dual diagnosis treatment while living at home or in supportive recovery housing, depending on their needs. FGRC offers day treatment, half-day treatment, outpatient care, and virtual options for appropriate Massachusetts residents.
You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many people enter treatment knowing they are struggling but not knowing whether anxiety, depression, trauma, or another condition is involved. Our team can help assess your symptoms and recommend the right next step.
You don’t have to choose between getting help for your mental health or your substance use. At Foundations Group Recovery Centers on Cape Cod, you can treat both—at the same time, with one team that understands the full picture.
