TRICARE In-NetworkWhat is dual diagnosis treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment is the simultaneous treatment of a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition in one integrated program. Still Detox New Jersey treats both conditions with the same clinical team rather than referring the psychiatric diagnosis elsewhere.
Treating addiction without addressing the co-occurring mental health condition produces incomplete results. A person with untreated PTSD, bipolar disorder or major depression returns to the same psychological environment that drove substance use in the first place.
Still Detox New Jersey runs Columbia Protocol risk screening and a PTSD assessment within 24 hours of admission. Three group rooms separate clients by gender or clinical acuity, so a client in acute psychiatric distress is not grouped with someone in early behavioral programming.

How does dual diagnosis treatment work at Still Detox New Jersey?
Dual diagnosis treatment at Still Detox New Jersey is a fully integrated clinical model where the same team treats both the substance use disorder and the mental health condition simultaneously.
Phase 1: Assessment. The psychiatrist completes a full psychiatric evaluation within 24 hours. The Columbia Protocol risk screening and a PTSD assessment establish baseline acuity. The treatment plan addresses both diagnoses from day one.
Phase 2: Integrated treatment. Individual therapy, group sessions separated by acuity, psychiatric medication management and PTSD-specific interventions run concurrently. The psychiatrist adjusts medications throughout the stay.
Phase 3: Stabilization and discharge. The case manager coordinates outpatient psychiatric care, medication continuity and aftercare referrals before discharge so there is no gap in either addiction or mental health treatment.
