Partial hospitalization programs: This is often a step down from inpatient care. It provides intensive treatment during the day but patients can return home at night.

Nearly half of the individuals with SUD also have a co-occurring mental health disorder, also known as a dual diagnosis.⁸

If you have a dual diagnosis, it is better to treat both conditions together rather than separately. This is because studies show that people with mental health disorders may use substances like drugs and alcohol as a form of self-medication.⁸

These facilities use an integrated approach to properly address and treat both conditions.
