Dual Diagnosis Treatment Options

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have any experience with Sandstone (North Bethesda) or Embark for dual diagnosis treatment? Or Discovery for Mood and Anxiety Program (in-patient) near Annapolis?

Bump. Same question

Dual diagnosis of what? SUD, mental illness, developmental disability?

The diagnoses matter here, OP, because diagnoses of ADHD + depression will have different treatment than ASD + Bipolar, for example.

I have no experience with the above listed providers but my son has dual diagnoses and it’s hard. Often I don’t know which symptoms are from which issue, and it’s hard to treat because they’re both very complex issues and hard to treat.

I believe dual diagnosis means a SUD and another mental health diagnosis (like anxiety, depression, etc.). No personal experience but I have heard good things about Embark.
