Co occurring Disorders

If you’re struggling with both a substance abuse (chemical dependency) problem and one or more mental health issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder) the Brattleboro Retreat’s adult treatment program for co-occurring disorders (sometimes called dual diagnosis treatment) can help. We’ll work with you to address the entire picture with a plan created just for you.

Our short-term hospital (inpatient) program will provide you, or someone you love, with compassionate, high-quality:

  • Intervention
  • Detoxification
  • Stabilization.


Managing Co-occurring Disorders

The Brattleboro Retreat’s Adult Co-occurring Disorders treatment team specializes in providing:

  • An accurate diagnosis
  • Aggressive, effective treatment
  • Thorough medication evaluation
  • Education and support to help you make a strong and successful recovery.


Our adult co-occurring disorders inpatient treatment program offers 24-hour care in a safe and nurturing environment that’s designed to promote your healing and ongoing recovery. Our treatment approach focuses on helping you develop and maintain your sobriety while also managing co-occurring psychiatric issues (such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, etc.). We’ll work with you, and with your family to help you:

  • Understand the cycle of addiction.
  • Learn how substance abuse and mental health problems can make each other worse (when they’re not both treated at the same time).
  • Develop an aggressive, comprehensive aftercare plan to support your recovery.
