What is Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorders, occurs when a person has both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. This complex condition requires a tailored treatment plan. At Buckhead Behavioral Health, we assess and treat individuals facing these challenges with care and expertise.

Common Scenarios Include:

Self-medicating mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) with substances.
Substance use worsening existing mental health conditions.
