Addressing addiction and mental health issues side by side
Anxiety and depression often manifest as symptoms during alcohol or drug withdrawal. However, they can also be distinct mental health conditions coexisting with addiction. When they show up together, they’re known as co-occurring disorders. Unfortunately, treatment that addresses both issues isn’t as common as it should be. At Avery’s House, we offer a dual diagnosis program specifically designed to simultaneously tackle both addiction and underlying mental health conditions.
Flexible treatment options
A skilled clinician will conduct an in-depth assessment to identify your child’s needs. Based on this evaluation, we’ll determine the most appropriate form of treatment, whether that’s our teen residential treatment program with continuous supervision or a more flexible option, such as our day treatment program. Whatever program is right for your teen, you can rest assured they will get the care and support they deserve.
Residential Program
- Our dual diagnosis residential treatment is a comprehensive program offering 24/7 support and supervision in a safe, home-like environment
Day Treatment
- Less intensive than residential treatment, our partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides more guidance and support than outpatient services
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
- Designed for those who need more intensive treatment than standard outpatient therapy but prefer to stay at home, this program includes 3–4 weekly sessions

What causes adolescent substance abuse?
Teen substance abuse is the result of a complex mix of factors. To understand it better, consider some of the critical risk factors that lead teens toward substance misuse:
- Untreated mental health disorders: Teens struggling with untreated mental health conditions are at a higher risk of abusing substances to cope
- Genetic predisposition: A family history of substance abuse or mental health disorders increases risk
- Early substance use: The younger a teen starts experimenting with substances, the greater the risk of developing substance use problems
- Childhood stress: Prolonged stress in early childhood can contribute to substance abuse during the teenage years
- Trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs): Traumatic childhood events significantly raise the chances of substance misuse
- Social pressure: Peer pressure or the desire to fit in can encourage teens to experiment with drugs or alcohol

Does my child need teenage dual diagnosis treatment?
If you suspect your teenager is suffering from a co-occurring disorder, it’s essential to get professional help. Only qualified mental health professionals, such as clinicians, can diagnose dual diagnosis in teenagers. However, as a parent or guardian, you play a vital role in the process, as you’ll likely be the first to detect changes in your teen’s behavior. Promptly recognizing these signs and getting help as soon as possible is crucial for providing your child the support and care they need.
Avery’s House is one of the best dual diagnosis treatment centers in Arizona, as our team is highly skilled at evaluating and treating these conditions. This team is well-versed in the complexities of co-occurring disorders and the devastating impact they can have on adolescents. We offer a comprehensive approach that simultaneously addresses the mental health condition and any co-occurring issues.
