Dual Diagnosis
In Lafayette, Louisiana, there are various treatment options available to address the needs of individuals with dual diagnoses. When it comes to addiction treatment, a dual diagnosis, also known as a co-occurring disorder or comorbidity, occurs when someone experiences two or more disorders simultaneously, such as a substance use disorder and a depressive disorder.

Misusing opioids can lead to a rapid development of addiction. Referred to as an opioid use disorder, opioid addiction involves compulsive seeking of the drug.
