How we treat
Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment In Orange County Is One Plan
NIDA calls it a co-occurring disorder when substance use and a mental health condition happen together, and both belong in the same plan.
A physician directs the medical side at 23726 Birtcher Dr in Lake Forest, and licensed clinicians lead the therapy. The Joint Commission accredits this outpatient program, and admissions can connect you with a partner if you need detox or a residential stay first.
At a glance
Both At Once
Substance use and the mental health condition are treated in the same sessions, not one after the other.
Physician And Therapy
A physician directs the medical side, including whether medication belongs in the plan.
Hours Can Change
You can move from PHP to IOP to outpatient, and you don't restart intake for the other condition.
Outpatient Only
You sleep at home, or with a sober living partner, because this campus does not keep you overnight.
In session
What Sessions Include
The shape of a session follows your level of care, and the plan for both conditions is in every one of those hours.
- Check-in
Both Conditions, One Check-In
You start with mood, cravings, and sleep, so the clinician hears the substance use and the mental health side together.
- Therapy
Group And Individual Therapy
Licensed clinicians lead group and individual therapy, using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
- Medical
The Medical Side
A physician directs whether medication belongs in the plan, and that decision sits inside the same treatment plan.
- Between
Practice Before You Return
You leave with a plan for the hours at home, including who you can call before the next session.
Schedules depend on your level of care, and admissions can walk you through a sample week before you start.

Who This Plan Is For
- 01
Both Are In The Picture
Substance use and a mental health condition are both part of why you're calling, and you want them treated together.
- 02
Outpatient Hours Can Work
You can attend PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, outpatient, or Virtual IOP and sleep somewhere safe at night.
- 03
You Want One Team
You don't want a second intake when the hours change or when the other condition needs more time.
Who This Plan Is Not For
You Need Emergency Care
If you might harm yourself, call or text 988, and call 911 in an emergency. This campus is not a crisis unit or a hospital.
You Need Detox Or A Residential Stay First
If withdrawal or overnight care has to come first, admissions can connect you with a partner and plan your start here afterward.
Only One Condition Needs Care
If substance use or mental health is the only concern, start from that hub and admissions will still help you choose a level of care.
Who does the work
Physician Care And Licensed Therapy
The medical side and the therapy side share one plan, so a medication decision and a therapy goal are not two separate programs.
- 01
Physician-Directed Care
A physician directs the medical side and decides with you whether medication belongs in the plan.
- 02
Licensed Therapy
Licensed clinicians lead the group and individual work on substance use and mental health in the same week.
- 03
One Written Plan
Goals for both conditions live in one plan, and that plan is what moves with you when the hours change.

FAQ
Common Questions
If you're not sure which level of care fits, admissions will talk it through with you without any pressure to decide.
(800) 808-675701What is dual diagnosis treatment in Orange County?
Dual diagnosis treatment in Orange County is one outpatient plan in Lake Forest for substance use and a mental health condition, which NIDA calls a co-occurring disorder. You don't finish one program and then start another.
02Do I need two intakes?
Substance use and mental health share one plan and one team, so a move between PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, and outpatient doesn't start a second intake.
03Which level of care do I start in?
Admissions asks about safety, symptoms, and your schedule, then recommends PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, outpatient, or Virtual IOP. The recommendation is a clinical fit, not a promise that a level will work.
04Does a physician take part?
A physician directs the medical side, including whether medication belongs in the plan. Licensed clinicians lead the group and individual therapy.
05Does insurance cover dual diagnosis treatment?
Admissions checks your outpatient benefits before you start, and many commercial plans include this care. Benefits vary by plan, and your insurer decides what it will pay. Call (800) 808-6757 or use the verify insurance form.
06What if I need detox first?
Medical detox is not offered at the Lake Forest campus. Admissions can connect you with a partner for that step and then plan your first day here.
07How long does dual diagnosis treatment last?
There's no set length, because the plan follows the hours you need. You can move between the partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, and Evening IOP with the same team.
08Can dual diagnosis treatment run in Evening IOP?
The same dual diagnosis plan can run in Evening IOP after work, usually from 4 to 7 p.m. on weeknights at the Lake Forest campus.
