What Is a Co-Occurring Disorder?

A co-occurring disorder, also called dual diagnosis, means a person has a substance use disorder and at least one mental health disorder at the same time. Treating both together, rather than one at a time, is the standard of care because each condition can drive the other.

Broadview treats mood, anxiety, trauma, and attention conditions that commonly appear alongside substance use, under one physician-led plan.

Key Takeaways

  • Dual diagnosis care means treating a substance use disorder and a mental health condition together, under one physician-led plan.
  • Care is delivered through medically supervised detox and residential treatment only. PHP, IOP, and outpatient are arranged through case management, not provided on-site.
  • Dr. David Deyhimy, MD, board-certified in addiction medicine and internal medicine, leads clinical decisions at the 12-bed Lemon Grove program.
  • Families are involved from day one with patient consent, and the step-down plan is scheduled before discharge.
  • Verifying your commercial insurance is free and non-binding, and benefits are checked before admission.

Who Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment Is For

Co-occurring (or dual diagnosis) treatment at Broadview is for adults with a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition who need 24/7 medical supervision and structured care. We work with families, referring clinicians, and adults seeking a small, physician-led program. If safety concerns or severe psychiatric needs are present, our team evaluates and coordinates the appropriate higher or alternate level of care.

How Broadview Treats Dual Diagnosis

Broadview uses an integrated, physician-led model that coordinates medical, psychiatric, and therapy services across detox and residential care under one named clinician.

  • Physician-led medical management. Dr. Deyhimy provides clinical oversight for detox and stabilization and reviews each intake personally.
  • Psychiatric medication management. A prescriber evaluates and adjusts psychiatric medications when clinically indicated.
  • Licensed therapy. Individual and group psychotherapy, including trauma-informed approaches.
  • Coordinated case management. Discharge planning and outpatient referrals are scheduled before release.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my insurance cover dual diagnosis treatment?

Coverage depends on your plan and documented medical need. Broadview is out-of-network with all carriers, and we offer a free, non-binding benefits check so you understand your out-of-network benefits before admission. We do not accept Medi-Cal.

What should I expect on day one?

Day one starts with intake and a focused clinical assessment with the physician and nursing team. We manage withdrawal symptoms and medications as needed, and with your loved one’s consent we begin family involvement so you understand the plan.

Who is appropriate for this program?

Broadview serves adults with a substance use disorder plus a co-occurring mental health condition who need 24/7 medical supervision and structured care. If safety or severe psychiatric needs are present, we evaluate and coordinate the right higher or alternate level of care.

How does residential dual-diagnosis care differ from outpatient treatment?

Residential care treats mental health and substance use under one clinical plan, with on-site medical and nursing support around the clock. Outpatient programs separate visits and usually cannot manage acute withdrawal or constant psychiatric needs. Broadview provides detox and residential care and arranges outpatient step-down through case management.

Will a prescriber manage psychiatric medications during treatment?

Yes. A prescriber provides psychiatric medication management as part of the integrated plan and coordinates changes with the medical and therapy teams. Medication decisions prioritize safety during detox and aim to stabilize symptoms so therapy can proceed.

Is detox safe for someone with a co-occurring mental health condition?

Detox is safer when it is physician-supervised and includes psychiatric oversight. Because a co-occurring condition can increase withdrawal risk or symptom complexity, close medical monitoring is used to reduce complications.

Can family be involved in treatment?

Yes. With patient consent, family involvement begins on day one and includes structured family sessions and clinical updates. Participation helps set boundaries, learn relapse-prevention skills, and align on the step-down plan.
