Integrated Care for Mental Health and Substance Use

At Riverfront Recovery, we understand that addiction rarely exists in isolation. Many individuals also struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions. That’s why we specialize in dual diagnosis treatment in Georgia, offering integrated care that addresses both substance use and mental health challenges at the same time.

Our inpatient mental health and substance abuse program in Georgia provides the safe, supportive, and clinically focused environment needed to build lasting recovery.

Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment Matters

When mental health conditions and addiction occur together, they can make each other worse. Treating only one issue often leads to relapse or worsening symptoms.

At Riverfront Recovery, our dual diagnosis program is designed to:

  • Stabilize mental health symptoms while addressing addiction.
  • Provide safe detox and medical oversight when needed.
  • Teach coping skills that target both mental health and relapse triggers.
  • Promote whole-person healing, not just symptom management.

Our Dual Diagnosis Approach

Comprehensive Assessments

Upon admission, our clinical team conducts thorough evaluations to identify co-occurring disorders and design an individualized care plan.

Evidence-Based Therapies

Our programming includes proven approaches for both addiction and mental health, such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Trauma-informed care
  • Mindfulness-based relapse prevention
  • Integrated Medical & Psychiatric Support

We provide access to psychiatric services, medication management (when appropriate), and 24/7 nursing oversight to ensure safety and stability.

Holistic Wellness

Healing extends beyond therapy. Clients benefit from yoga, Pilates, fitness training, meditation, and the calming influence of our riverside campus.

Family Engagement

Family therapy helps loved ones understand co-occurring disorders and provides tools for communication, boundaries, and support.

Aftercare & Transition Planning

Before discharge, clients receive a detailed plan for ongoing outpatient therapy, medication management, and community support resources.
