INTEGRATED CARE

Scottsdale Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Address Addiction & Mental Health Together for Lasting Stability.

Our programs integrate medical support, counseling, and creative therapies to stabilize co-occurring conditions.

Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders

Treating Addiction & Mental Health Together Is Essential

Many people facing substance abuse also live with untreated mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or mood disorders. Nearly 9 million Americans experience both, and without integrated care, recovery can feel overwhelming. At RCA in Scottsdale, our dual diagnosis programs treat both conditions together, building a clear path to lasting stability and healing.
