When it’s more than just addiction.
You tried getting sober—and somehow, things got worse. Maybe the anxiety became unbearable. Maybe the crash was too sharp, too deep. Maybe you felt like you were doing everything “right,” but nothing was getting better.
That doesn’t mean you failed.
It means something was missing.
When mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder exist alongside substance use, it’s called a co-occurring disorder—or dual diagnosis. And it’s far more common than most people realize. For many, a diagnosis isn’t a label—it’s a turning point. It means the way you’ve been feeling has a name. And more importantly, it means there’s help that actually fits what you’re going through.
At Prosperous Health, we treat both sides of the story—mental health and substance use—together, in one integrated plan. Because real recovery can’t happen unless the whole picture is addressed. And you deserve care that sees all of you.
The Epidemic of Missed Diagnoses
For many people with a dual diagnosis, the most painful part isn’t just the symptoms—it’s how long they went without the right name for what they were experiencing.
Mental health conditions are misdiagnosed at alarming rates. Social anxiety is misdiagnosed nearly 98% of the time. Panic disorder: 86%. Bipolar disorder? Almost 93%. And when a diagnosis is missed, the treatment that follows often doesn’t work—or makes things worse.
If you’ve ever tried getting sober and felt even worse off, you’re not alone. Many people turn back to substances not out of failure, but out of desperation—because no one ever treated the real reason they were using in the first place.
That’s why at Prosperous Health, we take diagnosis seriously. We don’t rush it. We don’t treat symptoms in isolation. Our team takes the time to understand what’s really going on—so we can create a plan that fits not just your recovery, but your actual life.
Because the moment you finally get the right diagnosis isn’t a setback.
It’s a turning point.
Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment Needs to Be Different
When you’re dealing with both a mental health condition and substance use, things don’t just feel harder—they are harder. Depression can drain the will to stay sober. Anxiety can make cravings worse. PTSD can make you feel unsafe in your own body, let alone in a therapy session. And when only one part gets treated, the other tends to pull everything back down.
That’s why dual diagnosis care needs to be different. It can’t just treat symptoms in isolation—it has to see the full picture of what you’ve been carrying, and how it’s all connected.
At Prosperous Health, we don’t treat addiction and mental health as separate problems. We treat them together, in one integrated plan—led by a team that knows how to help you stabilize both. Our goal isn’t just sobriety—it’s real healing. So you can feel like yourself again, maybe for the first time in a long time.
Integrated Therapies for Dual Diagnosis at Prosperous Health
At Prosperous Health, we understand that treating addiction without addressing mental health—or vice versa—leaves too many people stuck in the same cycles. That’s why we offer integrated, evidence-based therapies designed specifically for individuals living with co-occurring disorders.
Our approach is both clinical and compassionate: combining proven treatments for mental health with strategies that support lasting recovery from substance use. Every plan is personalized, because healing looks different when you’re managing both.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps untangle the connection between how you think, how you feel, and how you cope. For those navigating both depression or anxiety and substance use, CBT offers practical tools to manage triggers, reframe negative beliefs, and build more stable internal ground.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides structure and skills for individuals who experience emotional intensity, self-harming thoughts, or relational conflict. It’s especially effective for those with borderline traits, PTSD, or other mood disorders that impact stability in recovery.
Trauma-Informed Therapy creates space to process past experiences safely, without rushing or retraumatizing. Many people with dual diagnosis have experienced trauma—and often, it’s been overlooked. This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you feel safe in your own skin again.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help release the grip of traumatic memories that continue to hijack your present. It’s particularly powerful for individuals with PTSD who’ve turned to substances to numb or escape unresolved experiences.
Neurofeedback supports clarity, calm, and better emotional regulation—especially important for people dealing with disrupted sleep, foggy thinking, and overwhelm. It’s a valuable tool when medication alone isn’t enough.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers non-invasive, targeted relief for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety. It can support mood stability when other interventions haven’t been effective on their own.
At Prosperous Health, these therapies aren’t offered in isolation—they’re woven into a full treatment plan that addresses both the substance use and the underlying mental health conditions. Our team walks with you through every layer of healing, because lasting recovery means treating all of you.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs at Prosperous Health
When you’re dealing with both mental health challenges and substance use, treatment has to be flexible, responsive, and personal. At Prosperous Health, we offer a range of programs designed to treat both conditions—together—so you’re not constantly switching between providers or plans that only address part of your story.
Whether you’re stabilizing after crisis, trying to manage everyday life with less chaos, or looking for ongoing support after multiple attempts at recovery, we’ll meet you where you are.
Outpatient Detox (Ambulatory Detox):
Detoxing with a co-occurring disorder often requires more than just stopping the substance—it requires close medical oversight and emotional support. Our outpatient detox program is ideal for individuals who want to begin safely while maintaining a sense of privacy and autonomy. You’ll be monitored by medical professionals familiar with the unique needs of dual diagnosis clients, ensuring your detox process is both safe and centered around your well-being.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
PHP offers full-day structure without 24/7 supervision, making it a good fit for individuals who need stability but can return home in the evenings. You’ll receive a full spectrum of care—therapy, psychiatry, medication support, and skill-building—designed to help regulate both substance use and the mental health symptoms that often fuel it.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
IOP is a strong fit for those who have some stability but need support to stay on track. If your symptoms tend to flare under stress, or if you’re navigating real-life responsibilities while trying to stay sober and mentally well, IOP provides a balance of structure and flexibility. Sessions are scheduled several times per week and include individual therapy, group support, and medication management when needed.
Outpatient Program (OP):
Recovery from dual diagnosis isn’t always linear. Our outpatient program is here for you in the in-between moments—when you’ve made progress, but still need support to maintain it. OP offers weekly check-ins, ongoing therapy, and medication support for individuals reintegrating into work, school, or family life while continuing to manage their mental health and substance use symptoms.
At Prosperous Health, our programs are never one-size-fits-all. Your treatment is built around your history, your symptoms, and your goals—because long-term healing requires more than a plan. It requires care that actually fits your life.

Finding the Right Dual Diagnosis Treatment in California
If you’re living with both a mental health condition and substance use, finding the right kind of treatment is one of the most important decisions you can make. Dual diagnosis care is about more than just checking two boxes—it’s about getting integrated support that understands how these challenges interact and how to help you heal from both.
Whether you’re starting your search or already know what kind of help you’re looking for, the best place to begin is with a program that specializes in co-occurring disorders—not one that treats mental health and addiction as separate issues.
At Prosperous Health, we offer expert dual diagnosis treatment in the Valley, Palos Verdes, San Diego, Irvine, Los Angeles County, Santa Barbara County, and Riverside County, , designed specifically for people managing both substance use and conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our programs include a range of options—from ambulatory detox to outpatient therapy—so we can meet you where you are and adjust care to fit your needs.
If you’ve tried getting help before and it didn’t work, that doesn’t mean you can’t recover. It may just mean the right support wasn’t in place.
We’re here to change that—with clarity, compassion, and care that finally makes sense for everything you’ve been carrying.
