Featured dual diagnosis programs in North Dakota

Being able to be yourself in treatment

Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.

How dual diagnosis treatment works

Dual diagnosis treatment treats substance use and mental health conditions at the same time, with one team. It usually combines therapy, psychiatric medication management and addiction treatment.
