Is your teen is struggling with both mental health and substance use? Treating one without the other isn’t enough. At Compassion For Teens, we provide integrated dual diagnosis treatment designed specifically for adolescents, helping them heal fully, not partially.
As a parent, it is very difficult to see your teen struggling. You may have noticed changes in their mood, their grades dropping, and a shift in their friend group. Perhaps you’ve learned they are using substances to cope with an underlying anxiety or depression that they don’t know how to handle.
In such circumstances, treating only the mental health issue is not the right approach if substance use continues to alter the teen’s brain chemistry. At Compassion for Teens, we provide simultaneous, dual diagnosis care needed for true recovery.
Dual diagnosis occurs when a teenager experiences a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder simultaneously. It is often referred to as co-occurring disorders. For many teens, these two issues are not separate problems but are deeply intertwined. For example, a teen struggling with intense social anxiety may begin using marijuana to feel “normal” in social settings, or an adolescent facing the heavy weight of depression might turn to alcohol to numb their sadness.
Effective dual diagnosis treatment recognizes that these issues feed off one another. Rather than sending a teen to two different specialists, an integrated approach as offered at Compassion for Teens combines mental health therapy and substance abuse recovery into one coordinated clinical plan.
At Compassion For Teens, we believe that adolescents require a different level of care than adults. Our program is uniquely designed for the teenage brain and the specific social pressures of the 12–17 age group.
Identifying the need for dual diagnosis can be difficult because symptoms often overlap. Common signs that your teen may need specialized dual diagnosis support include:
