CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS
Many teenagers who struggle with substance use are also battling anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood instability. When mental health and addiction occur together, it is called a co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis.
At RISE Adolescent Treatment Center in Las Vegas, we provide residential dual diagnosis treatment for teens, addressing both mental health and substance use at the same time.
Why Treating Both Conditions Matters
If only substance use is treated, untreated anxiety or depression may lead to relapse. If only mental health is treated, substance use may continue as a coping strategy. Effective treatment must address both.
We treat adolescent boys and girls experiencing:
- Depression and substance use
- Anxiety and alcohol or drug use
- Trauma and self-medication
- Mood disorders and impulsive behavior
- Emotional dysregulation with substance experimentation

A Message to Parents
If your is struggling with both mental health challenges and substance use, it can feel especially frightening and complicated. The good news is that dual diagnosis treatment is highly effective when done correctly.
With the right structure, clinical care, and family support, teens can stabilize and build a healthier path forward.
