At Casa Palmera, a residential treatment center located near San Diego, we understand that dual diagnosis—also known as co-occurring or concurrent disorders—encompasses a wide range of issues. These issues may include trauma, chemical dependency, and depression. Each of these conditions impacts a person mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.
Treating someone with multiple disorders can be challenging, as most treatment facilities often focus on just one “primary disorder,” neglecting other significant issues. At Casa Palmera, we specialize in addressing dual diagnosis, allowing you to receive equal attention for each of your challenges. By integrating the treatment of all conditions into a single program, we aim to promote recovery from both disorders simultaneously. This comprehensive approach can improve overall recovery rates, especially when symptoms of the different problems overlap.
What to Look For
Dual diagnosis can cause a great number of problems that vary according to which addictions, disorders, pains or traumatic experiences are involved.
Common dilemmas arising out of the struggle with dual diagnosis may include:

Customized CAre
We at Casa Palmera understand that having two different health complications in your life can be emotionally painful and physically draining. When you suffer from a dual diagnosis, sometimes one disorder takes a higher priority than the other, causing the other complication to worsen.
By seeking treatment at Casa Palmera, where co-occurring disorders are treated and receive the same priority, you are giving yourself the opportunity to recover from both.
Additional benefits of attending our program at Casa Palmera include:
Our Approach
Casa Palmera provides an integrated treatment experience that addresses chemical dependencies alongside co-occurring disorders within the same environment. Our professional staff is experienced and trained in various diagnoses. Experts in the behavioral health field have determined that an integrated model is the most effective strategy compared to treating one condition before addressing another.
At Casa Palmera, we believe in a holistic approach to healing. We focus on each of your dual diagnosis issues individually because specialized care is crucial. Our staff understands that true healing comes from addressing all addictions, disorders, pain, and traumatic experiences equally. We believe that physical healing begins from within. If the psychological aspects of each issue are not addressed, the risk of relapse increases.

We believe that by providing this opportunity for personal growth and learning, you will be better prepared for life’s unpredictable challenges. Our therapies include:
When you arrive at our facility you will have the opportunity to take our Clinical Diagnostic Assessment. This assessment will help determine which therapies and special programs are best for your overall recovery.
