FAQs about dual diagnosis treatment
What are the symptoms of dual diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders treatment refer to the same clinical situation, which is the simultaneous presence of a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. The terms are used interchangeably, though co-occurring disorders is sometimes preferred clinically since it avoids implying only two conditions are present. At Charterhouse Clinic, both terms describe the same integrated approach to treatment.
What is the difference between dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders?

The terms are used interchangeably, though co-occurring disorders is sometimes preferred clinically since it avoids implying only two conditions are present. At Charterhouse Clinic, both terms describe the same integrated approach to treatment.
How does dual diagnosis rehab differ from standard addiction treatment?
Standard addiction treatment focuses primarily on substance use, which can leave the mental health condition that was driving it unaddressed. Dual diagnosis rehab treats both conditions simultaneously, so neither is left intact to pull the other back. The clinical team needs expertise in both disciplines, which is what makes integrated residential treatment genuinely different from treating each condition separately.
Which mental health conditions commonly occur alongside addiction?
Anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, and stress and burnout are among the most common conditions that occur alongside addiction. Each can both drive and be worsened by substance use, which is why mental health and addiction treatment at Charterhouse Clinic addresses both conditions within the same programme rather than treating one first.
How do I know if I need dual diagnosis treatment centres rather than standard addiction treatment?
If substance use has developed alongside a mental health condition, or if previous addiction treatment hasn’t held because the mental health side was never properly addressed, dual diagnosis treatment centres like Charterhouse Clinic offer the integrated care that standard addiction services often don’t. A confidential assessment with the clinical team is the clearest way to establish what level of support is right for you.
Do I need a referral to start dual diagnosis treatment?
No, you can contact Charterhouse Clinic directly, and the admissions team handles everything from there. There is no need for a GP referral unless you would like us to liaise with your doctor.
