One care team for your addiction and mental health
Which dual diagnosis program serves Delray Beach residents?
If you live in Delray Beach, our dual diagnosis program treats your drinking or drug use alongside depression, anxiety, trauma or bipolar disorder, with a single team at a licensed Pompano Beach facility about 20 miles south.
You get one plan, one set of medications checked against each other, and one level of care matched to how you are doing.
Your intake comes with a psychiatric assessment, and the first call covers your insurance check.
How soon can dual diagnosis care begin from Delray Beach?
Within days of your call. When withdrawal puts detox first and a room is ready, you start that same day.
The phone call covers four questions: what you drink or take, any diagnosis a doctor has given you, the medication in your cabinet and any treatment you tried before. We run your benefits on that call and book a psychiatric assessment into your admission, so your medication gets a second look before your first night.
Who should get dual diagnosis care in Delray Beach?
You, if you reach for alcohol or drugs to get through low moods, panic, flashbacks or nights when your thoughts will not slow down.
You need no formal diagnosis to start. Look for these patterns:
- You need a drink or a pill to fall asleep, calm down or face a shift
- You relapsed after rehab when your mood sank
- You stopped a psychiatric medication without telling the doctor who wrote it
- A crisis or a Baker Act hold came in the same season as heavy drinking or drug use
Family members call too. If you watch a parent or partner drink through every low patch, admissions talks you through how to raise dual diagnosis care with them.
The psychiatric assessment at admission sorts out what you are dealing with and which part your team works on first.
Which dual diagnosis approach works best?
Integrated care: one team treats your addiction and your mental health condition together, working from a single written plan.
Split the two apart and the untreated one undoes the work on the other. With integrated care, your psychiatric provider and therapist sit down together each week, agree your medication and your therapy, and change course as you do. Every level of care in our dual diagnosis treatment program runs this way.

Insurers class integrated treatment as medically necessary. Admissions confirms your share.
How do you begin dual diagnosis care from Delray Beach?
Dual Diagnosis Care From Fair Oaks Pavilion
Call admissions from your room on the Delray Medical Center campus, or the day you get home.
Dual Diagnosis Filings at South County Courthouse
The clerk takes mental health filings on West Atlantic Avenue. Admissions helps you pick the right law first.
Dual Diagnosis Follow-Ups by Train
Tri-Rail from Congress Avenue brings you three stops south for psychiatric follow-ups.
Which conditions does dual diagnosis care in Delray Beach cover?
We treat alcohol or drug addiction together with depression, grief, PTSD, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, and generalized or social anxiety.
The condition shapes the order of work. Trauma therapy waits until your sleep settles and your mood steadies. Bipolar disorder means a mood stabilizer your psychiatric provider reviews closely. Anxiety eases as withdrawal fades, so your team waits a few days before adding anything new for it.
How soon after a Baker Act hold can treatment start?
The week the hold ends. You, a relative or the unit’s discharge planner can call us from the hospital, and we set your start date during that call.
Per the Palm Beach County Clerk, a receiving facility holds you for a Baker Act examination for 72 hours at most. That window steadies a crisis. It does not touch the drinking or drug use that fed it.
If your hold was at Fair Oaks Pavilion, the psychiatric unit on the Delray Medical Center campus, ring admissions before you sign out or on your first day home. Going from that unit straight into dual diagnosis care closes the gap where a second crisis starts.
Which level of care fits your dual diagnosis?
Your mental health symptoms count as heavily as the drinking or drugs, and your team moves you up or down as they change.
Coming in unsteady or physically dependent, you start in detox for Delray Beach callers, where psychiatric staff stabilize you before a live-in stay. Once symptoms calm, our partial hospitalization program gives you psychiatric contact nearly every weekday, and you sleep at home. When your mental health is stable and needs upkeep, IOP works around a job. Family up or down the coast will find dual diagnosis treatment for Boca Raton or for West Palm Beach closer to them.
Can you hold a job during dual diagnosis care?
Yes, at PHP and IOP, because psychiatric visits fall within program hours. A live-in stay counts for FMLA leave when you need to step away from work.
Your case manager files only the paperwork your employer asks for. The form shows dates and a need for leave, and your diagnosis stays with your care team. During a live-in stay, your case manager calls your employer only when you ask, and only with the details you approve.

Which medications and therapies help with dual diagnosis?
Three therapies, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior and trauma-focused, with psychiatric and craving medication set by a single prescriber team.
CBT takes apart the thinking that links a bad mood to a drink. DBT gives you skills for the minutes when feelings spike. Your psychiatric provider checks any antidepressant, mood stabilizer or anti-anxiety medication against your naltrexone, acamprosate or buprenorphine, so the two sets work together. If you arrive on a benzodiazepine prescribed for anxiety, your psychiatric provider plans any taper with you instead of stopping it overnight. MedlinePlus at the National Library of Medicine names counseling with medication as treatment for addiction.
Which clinicians treat your dual diagnosis?
Five roles share your care as one unit: your case manager, nurses, a licensed therapist, a psychiatric provider and a prescriber for withdrawal and cravings.
Diagnosis and psychiatric prescriptions sit with your psychiatric provider. The therapist runs your sessions.
Nurses dispense medication and notice changes before you mention them. The case manager covers work, family and life after discharge. All of them read the same chart and meet weekly.
Does insurance cover dual diagnosis care in Delray Beach?
Yes. Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare plans pay for treating addiction and a mental health condition together as medically necessary care.
How your insurer authorizes it depends on the level of care you start at. Your first call includes a free benefits check, and admissions turns any out-of-network gap into a dollar figure before your admission date.
Ask about two lines on the call: your deductible and coinsurance for the program itself, and the copay for psychiatric visits, which your plan lists as a separate line. Admissions reads you both.
Which law gets a Delray Beach loved one into treatment?
The Baker Act if the crisis is psychiatric, the Marchman Act if drinking or drugs have put your loved one in danger. Call admissions, and we help you choose.
In Palm Beach County, the clerk takes mental health filings at the South County Courthouse, 200 West Atlantic Avenue, so a Delray Beach family files a few blocks from downtown. When both problems show up together, admissions walks you through which law fits. Our intervention services team helps you script the talk, and your loved one comes in the day they say yes.
What happens after dual diagnosis treatment ends?
Your psychiatric provider and therapist stay with you as you step down, and you leave with one relapse-prevention plan covering mood and cravings.
Your case manager books outpatient sessions and your psychiatric follow-up before discharge. From the Delray Beach station on Congress Avenue, Tri-Rail carries you three stops south to those appointments.
By car, it is a half hour from I-95 exit 52B at Atlantic Avenue. In a city of 66,846, a follow-up twenty miles away stays out of your neighbors’ sight. Our alumni program keeps a seat for you after the last session.
You can also compare outpatient rehab in Delray Beach for Delray Beach.
