What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses substance abuse, addiction, and co-occurring mental health disorders, recognizing that addiction and mental health issues often go hand in hand. It refers to two or more disorders occurring simultaneously, such as addiction and depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia, which can interact and worsen one another, making treatment more complicated.
Substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders must be treated together to achieve long-term recovery. Dual diagnosis treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach that combines medical detoxification, therapy, medication management, and support groups. The primary goal of dual diagnosis treatment is to help individuals achieve and maintain sobriety from drug abuse and alcoholism while improving their mental health and overall quality of life.
Treatment may involve cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, family therapy, or other evidence-based approaches. It may also include medication to manage symptoms of mental health disorders, such as antidepressants or antipsychotics.1

How To Get My Insurance To Pay For Dual Diagnosis Treatment
The process will vary with each insurance plan. However, you can generally begin by reviewing your insurance policy to understand what is covered. You’ll then want to choose an in-network treatment provider with your insurance plan. Your dual diagnosis treatment provider can further assist with any information verification, such as out-of-pocket costs you may be responsible for.
Next, you’ll most likely need to obtain prior authorization. You can work with your treatment provider to get the necessary documentation submitted to your insurance company. Finally, once your insurance coverage is confirmed, follow the treatment plan recommended by your provider. Be sure to attend all scheduled appointments and follow any medication or psychotherapy recommendations, or you’ll risk the loss of coverage.

Virtue is one of the nicest, newest, and cleanest facilities I’ve ever been at. It’s not beaten up and chaotic like all other places I’ve been to! It has a good energy, and positive vibe feeling of peace and serenity. Staff is kind too! It has been a breath of fresh air! Perfect for starting your brand new life!
Dwayne Brown
Customer Review from Las Vegas
I can honestly say that this place helped me with my SUD and changed my way of thinking. The staff are all so open and friendly and someone is always there to lend an ear or a helping hand. I’ve been to a few rehabs and they have been nothing compared to Virtue in how they were run, the therapy and therapists, and the fact that the staff all love their jobs and truly do care for you. If you need help, or someone you love needs help, then don’t waste time or money trying anywhere else.
Michelle Nguyen
Customer Review from Houston
I cannot say enough positive things about this place. I came in as a first-timer to a residential facility and brought along with me a multitude of mental health struggles and addictions that had had a handle on my life for a long time.
• The staff is beyond amazing and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the clients.
• My therapist was by far the best I have ever seen and so easy to talk to; I left with a better understanding of myself than I’ve had in my entire life.
• My case manager was insanely kind and went above and beyond for me.

Customer Review from Killeen
I hit a rough patch heading into the holidays and relapsed, so I went back to Virtue for help. I had gone to the facility in Vegas a while back, but for insurance reasons I had to go to Killeen. Yes! Virtue is that good of a facility it’s worth traveling to, Killeen provided transportation to and from Austin airport. Really the only thing different between the two facilities was the location. Killeen is definitely a 5-star treatment center, very clean with beautiful room and comfortable beds. The staff was amazing from housekeeping to the director! Their program is great with a nice mix of classes and free time, with plenty of activities to do. The food is really good too, provided by in house executive chefs! Just another shoutout to the staff, very caring, genuine and loving what they do! I had forgotten a couple of things when I had packed, and a staff member went personally to the store and picked up what I needed. You cannot go wrong by picking Virtue for your treatment! oh… also ask about “Tyrone Bingo” it’s a wonderful night of entertainment!! Big hearted thank you to all the staff, you’re all a blessing!! followed with the “Serenity Prayer.”
