At Foundations Wellness Center, we understand that addiction often doesn’t come alone—it walks hand-in-hand with mental health challenges. In the heart of Port St. Lucie, our dual diagnosis program is specifically designed to address both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, providing a comprehensive approach to recovery that caters to the complete well-being of our clients.

What Are Co-occurring Disorders?

Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, refer to the condition where an individual suffers from both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder simultaneously. Common mental health issues that can accompany addiction include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Treating both conditions concurrently is crucial because they often interact and exacerbate each other, making recovery more complex but also more critical.

Our Integrated Treatment Philosophy

At Foundations Wellness, our treatment philosophy is built on the understanding that for many, lasting recovery can only be achieved by treating the mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach is particularly effective in treating co-occurring disorders. Our programs integrate:

• Evidence-based therapies: Including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, tailored to address both addiction and underlying mental health issues.
• Personalized treatment plans: Every client receives a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific conditions and needs, ensuring a targeted approach to recovery.
• Psychiatric care and medication management: Our psychiatric team is involved from the outset, providing assessments and ongoing medication management to stabilize mental health conditions, which is essential for effective addiction treatment.

• Local support groups and meetings: We encourage participation in local chapters of AA, NA, and other relevant support groups, which are integral to the recovery process.
