Mental health and addiction treatment on one plan
Which dual diagnosis program treats Miami residents?
Miami residents get addiction and mental health care from one team at our licensed Pompano Beach facility, about 35 miles north, where drinking or drug use and depression, anxiety, PTSD or bipolar disorder sit on one plan.
Your psychiatric provider and your therapist work side by side from the first day.
Your intake includes a psychiatric assessment, and your insurance check happens on the first call.
How soon can dual diagnosis treatment start from Miami?
Within days, and the same day when you need detox and a bed is open.
On the call, admissions asks what you use, any diagnosis you carry or what you struggle with, the medication you take and any past treatment. We check your insurance and book your psychiatric assessment into admission day, and your psychiatric provider goes through your medication on day one.
Bring every prescription bottle with you from Miami. It saves a day of phone calls to your pharmacy.
Who needs co-occurring disorder care in Miami?
You need it when alcohol or drugs have become the way you get through panic, grief, flashbacks or dark moods, or when those moods drag you back to using after rehab.
A label is not the entry ticket. Our psychiatric staff work out what is going on during intake. These are worth a call:
- A drink is how you fall asleep or quiet your nerves
- Your last relapse came on the heels of a bad stretch of mood
- You dropped your psychiatric prescription because drinking felt easier
- A Baker Act hold or a crisis followed a night of drinking or drugs
Which dual diagnosis treatment works best?
Integrated care. A single team works on your mental health and your addiction in the same weeks, and everyone on it talks to each other.
Sequential care leaves one problem untouched while the other gets the attention, and the untouched one pulls you under. Here your psychiatric provider, therapist and nurses hold one weekly meeting about you and change your therapy and your doses together. Our main dual diagnosis treatment page sets out the program.
Which dual diagnosis strengths matter most to Miami residents?
A Psychiatric Review on Admission Day
Your psychiatric provider meets you the day you arrive and goes through every prescription you brought from Miami.
Weekly Dual Diagnosis Team Meetings
Your psychiatric provider, therapist and nurses sit down together about you once a week.
Treatment the Week a Hold Ends
After a Baker Act hold, you start with us within days, before the old pattern returns.
Co-Occurring Care in Detox, PHP or IOP
The level follows your symptoms, and the same team follows you through each one.
Trauma Therapy Timed to Your Recovery
PTSD work begins once withdrawal is behind you and you sleep through the night.
Miami-Dade Plans Pay for Integrated Treatment
Insurers count integrated care as medically necessary, and admissions gives you your share in dollars.
How do you begin care for both conditions from Miami?
Treatment After Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital
Call admissions from your room on NW 9th Avenue or the day you get home, and we book your start.
Dual Diagnosis Care Around Wolfson Campus Classes
Students downtown pick PHP or IOP hours that leave their class schedule alone.
Psychiatric Follow-Up Care by Tri-Rail
From MiamiCentral, the train brings you back north for medication reviews after discharge.
Which mental health conditions come into dual diagnosis care?
Alcohol or drug addiction together with depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, panic disorder or grief.
Each one changes the order of work. PTSD therapy waits until withdrawal is over and you sleep through the night. Bipolar disorder means a mood stabilizer and close checks on how it sits with any cravings medication. Anxiety drops as your body clears, so your team watches a week or two before starting anything new for it.
How soon can treatment follow a Miami Baker Act hold?
The same week. When a hold ends, you or the hospital’s discharge team call admissions, and we set your start date on that call.
Florida’s Baker Act allows up to 72 hours for an involuntary examination at a receiving facility. Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital on NW 9th Avenue is a Baker Act receiving facility, with an emergency intake center open 24 hours.
A hold steadies the crisis. If drinking or drugs fed into it, the addiction still needs work, and moving straight into dual diagnosis care closes that gap. Phone us before you leave the hospital, or on your first day back in Miami.
What level of care suits co-occurring conditions?
Your symptoms pick it: a crisis or physical dependence starts in detox, steadier symptoms suit PHP, and stable mental health suits IOP.
A crisis or dependence starts in medical detox for Miami residents, then a live-in stay while your medication settles. With steadier symptoms, our partial hospitalization program puts you in front of psychiatric staff most weekdays. Once your mood holds, IOP keeps the work going a few days a week.
From Miami, PHP and IOP mean a commute north or a certified sober home near the program. Admissions plans that with you.
Can you study or work during dual diagnosis care?
Yes, at the outpatient levels: your team books psychiatric visits and therapy inside your program hours.
Students at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus downtown fit IOP around their timetable, and the evening track suits most day jobs. Going into a live-in stay? Your case manager takes care of the leave paperwork, and your employer sees nothing past what the form requires.
Dual Diagnosis for Miami Residents

Licensed Psychiatric and Addiction Clinicians
Psychiatric staff, therapists and nurses working one plan.
Psychiatric Aftercare That Continues
Appointments with your psychiatric provider carry on after the program finishes.
Which therapies and medications treat both conditions?
CBT, DBT and trauma-focused therapy, plus psychiatric medication and cravings medication prescribed by people who check one against the other.
CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, targets the thoughts that start a spiral. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, gives you something to do with anger or panic besides a drink. Your psychiatric provider prescribes antidepressants, mood stabilizers or anxiety medication next to naltrexone or acamprosate for alcohol, or buprenorphine for opioids, and checks the mix at every review.
If you arrive on medication from a Miami psychiatrist, your provider reviews it at intake and keeps what already works for you.
Who will run your dual diagnosis treatment?
Your psychiatric provider leads a team that also holds a licensed therapist, nurses, a withdrawal prescriber and a case manager.
Your psychiatric provider owns your diagnosis and doses. Your therapist owns your sessions and groups. Nurses watch how you respond day to day.
Your case manager keeps Miami in order: your job, your family and the plan for going home. One weekly meeting means nobody asks you to pass messages along.
Does insurance cover dual diagnosis treatment for Miami-Dade?
Yes. Florida Blue, other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, Aetna and Cigna all pay for integrated addiction and mental health treatment as medically necessary care.
Each level of care gets its own authorization from your insurer. Admissions runs the benefits check at no charge and tells you your deductible, your coinsurance and your share before you travel, and, if we are out of network, the gap in dollars.
Without insurance, admissions quotes the self-pay rate for each level. If you live in a sober home during PHP or IOP, its rent sits outside the treatment bill, and you hear that number on the same call.
Which law gets your loved one into treatment?
A mental health crisis falls under the Baker Act, and dangerous drinking or drug use falls under the Marchman Act.
When both are in play, call admissions before you choose. In Miami-Dade, adult Marchman Act petitions go to the Clerk’s probate office for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, there is no filing fee, and the person must be in Miami-Dade County. Our intervention services team works out the conversation with you, and your loved one comes in on the day they say yes.
What happens when dual diagnosis treatment ends?
Through every step down you keep your psychiatric provider, and you leave with a single written plan covering mood and cravings.
Before discharge, your case manager books your outpatient sessions and your psychiatric follow-up, and checks your prescriptions will carry on without a gap. From MiamiCentral, Tri-Rail brings you back up for follow-up visits without driving. Our alumni program keeps your seat after you finish.
If you live closer to the Broward line, see dual diagnosis treatment in Hollywood or dual diagnosis treatment in Fort Lauderdale for the route from there.
For Miami, we also cover outpatient rehab in Miami.
