Our dual diagnosis treatment integrates care plans for both substance abuse and mental health, ensuring a balanced, individualized journey. Our clinical specialists conduct thorough assessments to develop personalized plans. We take a holistic approach to address the root causes of co-occurring disorders, considering every aspect of your recovery journey.
At our dual diagnosis treatment centers in Oregon, we take a holistic, evidence-based approach to treating co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Our experienced clinicians and mental health professionals conduct thorough assessments to create personalized treatment plans that support each patient's unique needs and long-term well-being.
Whether you're navigating mental illness, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or trauma-related disorders like PTSD, our Portland treatment facility offers multiple levels of care—from residential treatment and inpatient programs to outpatient treatment and intensive outpatient services (IOP). By integrating mental health treatment with substance abuse care, we empower patients and their loved ones to heal as whole people and move forward with confidence on their recovery journey.
Dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurrence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. Co-occurring disorders add another level of challenge to diagnosis, disorder treatment, and recovery without individualized treatment plans. In addition, mental health disorders and substance abuse often worsen each other's symptoms, due to several intersecting risk factors:
When the unique needs of co-occurring disorders go unaddressed, a self-destructive cycle of distress, mental illness, and substance abuse persists. At our Spark Wellness treatment center, we recognize the complexity of intertwined conditions and offer integrated treatment plans to address both. Our holistic approach and evidence-based interventions ensure that both substance abuse and mental illness are treated together. When treated together in an outpatient program or residential program, co-occurring disorder treatment can promote a comprehensive and effective recovery.
Co-occurring disorders—when a person experiences both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder—require integrated, evidence-based treatment. At our Portland treatment center, we specialize in dual diagnosis care that addresses the full spectrum of mental health issues and substance abuse. Common mental health disorders include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and personality disorders like BPD. These often co-occur with substances such as alcohol, opioids, stimulants, marijuana, benzodiazepines, and methamphetamines.
Unfortunately, traditional treatment programs that separate addiction treatment from mental health care miss the mark. According to SAMHSA, while 21.5 million adults have co-occurring disorders, only 17% receive treatment for both. Without comprehensive treatment services and support from trained providers, individuals face higher risks of relapse, incarceration, and homelessness.
Our dual diagnosis treatment in Oregon is rooted in a holistic approach that includes detox, individual therapy, group therapy, outpatient treatment, medication management, and aftercare. We tailor treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs, helping them and their loved ones find lasting recovery and mental wellness.
Many individuals with co-occurring disorders struggle to access proper care due to gaps in mental health services and addiction treatment. Common barriers include a lack of integrated dual diagnosis treatment, limited comprehensive assessments, geographic isolation, and undertrained providers. Some treatment centers claim to address co-occurring disorders but lack the mental health professionals, screenings, and credentials needed for accurate diagnosis and effective intervention.
At our Portland, Oregon treatment center, we eliminate these barriers through thorough, evidence-based evaluations and individualized treatment plans. Spark Wellness offers both addiction treatment and primary mental health services, ensuring patients receive comprehensive care for their unique needs. Our clinicians conduct full assessments of mental health and substance use history to accurately diagnose co-occurring disorders. From there, we create personalized treatment plans that support long-term recovery and overall well-being.
At Spark Wellness, our integrated treatment plans are designed to address both mental health conditions and substance use disorders simultaneously. Through a holistic approach, we offer a full continuum of care, ranging from detoxification and Day Treatment (PHP) to intensive outpatient (IOP), virtual IOP, outpatient services, and sober living. Each level of care supports a personalized, evidence-based path toward sustainable well-being and long-term recovery.

In some cases, medication plays an essential role in managing mental health symptoms. Medication management is invaluable to treatment and overall health. Throughout life, people often take a variety of prescription and over-the-counter medications for physical and psychological healthcare needs. However, the use of medications, especially multiple medications, can create confusion and lead to mismanagement. Some of the ways medication can be mismanaged include:
When medication is mismanaged, it increases the risk of worse symptoms, other health issues, misuse, and death. Therefore, medication management can have a significant impact on supporting health and well-being. Medication management contributes to greater medication adherence, reduces side effects, and empowers patients to be active participants in their recovery journey. With medication management, patients can work in tandem with their clinicians to effectively monitor and use medications to support their mental health.
In addition to medication management, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can also be an invaluable part of a treatment plan for substance use disorder. Stigma and a lack of medication education have contributed to misunderstanding and fear of medication-assisted treatment. However, medication-assisted treatment is a comprehensive and evidence-based practice that can help address complex needs with tailored treatment plans. There are a variety of medications in medication-assisted treatment that can be utilized to treat challenges like alcohol addiction and drug addiction, such as opioid use disorder.
Further, medication-assisted treatment is not only effective for withdrawal symptoms in detox. The use of medication-assisted treatment in conjunction with therapy can support treating co-occurring mental health conditions. Medication is often overlooked as a management tool in detox and addiction treatment. Medication-assisted treatment is more than medication; it is a whole-person approach to addiction treatment that utilizes medications in combination with evidence-based therapies and peer support groups.
At Spark Wellness, our medical team carefully evaluates and monitors your medications to ensure they work alongside your therapy. The use of medication and therapy in conjunction with each other can help us provide effective management of your unique needs for co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse.
At Spark Wellness, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and non-judgmental environment in which to thrive. In the heart of the Pacific Northwest, we know how important it is for each patient to feel safe, supported, and seen in treatment. The challenges of substance abuse can leave you feeling guilty and ashamed of your addiction and its impact on your life and relationships. Our therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care, are crucial in addressing the underlying issues fueling both substance abuse and mental health challenges. These therapies are vital for a comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment process.
We are here to remind you that you are more than your addiction or mental illness. You are deserving of compassion, support, and healing to be the healthiest version of yourself. Therefore, our treatment programs are designed to give you the space to openly discuss your challenges. Through modalities like family therapy, group therapy, peer support groups, and compassionate care, we foster a sense of community. We are a community, a family, and we ensure that you feel supported and understood throughout your recovery journey.
Understanding PTSD symptoms and other trauma-related conditions is important for whole-person recovery. When left unaddressed, trauma can erode your sense of self and safety. Trauma can change the way you think, feel, and move through the world. Moreover, trauma can fracture your relationships and impede your ability to function at home, work, and school. When you are overwhelmed by trauma and co-occurring mental health disorders, it becomes easier to seek relief in unhealthy ways like substance abuse.
At our Spark Wellness treatment facility, we prioritize a trauma-informed approach to healing, offering compassionate, specialized care for individuals with PTSD. Our team understands the unique challenges of trauma and is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where you can heal. With trauma-informed treatment plans, we can address your symptoms with respect and empathy. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we empower you to work through past experiences and take meaningful steps toward managing symptoms, rebuilding resilience, and achieving a sense of peace in your life.
Our aftercare programs and relapse prevention strategies ensure continuous support. Moreover, holistic aftercare promotes long-term recovery and mental health maintenance. Alumni care is a vital component of our program for connection, community, and independence long after you leave treatment.
Our alumni network offers ongoing support, resources, and a sense of community. The resources and services of aftercare help each patient reinforce relapse prevention and maintain their recovery journey. You are not alone in your recovery journey. We are here to help you spark the change you need to lead a fulfilling and purposeful life in recovery. Let us handle the paperwork and make it easy to get the help you need.
