Addressing Mental Health + Addiction in Ohio
What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses mental health and substance use at the same time. It's also called co-occurring disorder treatment, because the two often overlap and feed each other.
For many people, addiction and mental health can't be separated. Some use substances to cope with anxiety, depression or trauma. Others find their mental health gets worse because of substance use. Lasting recovery means treating both.
At Cedar Oaks, dual diagnosis care isn't a separate track. It's built into how we treat every client, with behavioral therapy, psychiatric care and medical support working together.
How We Treat Dual Diagnosis
Our main program for dual diagnosis is Mental Health Day Treatment (MHDT), an outpatient level of care. You spend most of the day at our center in therapy and skill-building groups, then go home in the evening.
MHDT can be a good fit if weekly therapy isn't enough but you don't need 24/7 care, or if you're stepping down from a hospital stay or residential care. If you need detox or more support first, our admissions team will help you find the right place to start.

Why Treat Both at Once?
Treating mental health and substance use together gives people a better shot at lasting change.
- It goes deeper. If substance use is tied to fear, stress or self-doubt, treatment needs to address both sides.
- It supports recovery. When mental health needs are met, the pull to self-medicate gets weaker.
- It lasts. Clients leave with coping skills for both their mental health and their recovery.
We have helped hundreds of clients recover.
A FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE
Levels of Care at Cedar Oaks
Dual diagnosis care is part of every level of care we offer, so clients can move from one stage to the next without starting over. Treatment options we provide include:
Detoxification
Before treatment can begin in earnest, clients need a clear mind. Detoxification from substances in a safe, controlled environment helps clients stabilize. This step is often crucial for those with ongoing addictions, as detoxing independently can create serious health and safety risks. Learn more about detox.
Inpatient Care
Clients who can benefit from round-the-clock supervision can reside at our facility full-time for a specified period. While in our care, clients receive personalized support and treatment. During this stage of treatment, clients can focus entirely on their recovery and build a solid foundation to add to later on. Learn more about residential care.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Our team offers medication-assisted treatment for those whose needs warrant the use of prescription medications. Prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting medications help many clients overcome obstacles that make it challenging to recover. When mental health concerns are part of a client’s reality, the ability to access medical support can be life-changing. Learn more about MAT.
Mental Health Day Treatment
Daily outpatient care for mental health and co-occurring substance use. Clients spend most of the day in treatment and return home in the evening. Learn more about MHDT.
Outpatient and Alumni Services
As clients move through treatment and back into daily life, they can stay connected with peers and our team through outpatient care and our alumni program. Alumni share their struggles, successes and stories with others who understand, which can be a key part of long-term recovery. Learn more about outpatient care and our alumni program.
