Addiction rarely happens in isolation. Many individuals struggling with substance use disorders also experience mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. When both conditions occur together, it’s called dual diagnosis (or co-occurring disorders).
At Windansea Recovery in La Jolla, we recognize that untreated mental health conditions can fuel addiction, and addiction can worsen mental health symptoms. That’s why we take an integrated approach, treating both simultaneously for the best chance at lasting recovery.
Treating only addiction—or only mental health—often leads to relapse and frustration. For example:
By addressing both conditions at the same time, dual diagnosis treatment helps clients build stability, resilience, and long-term wellness.
At WindanSea Recovery, dual diagnosis treatment is woven into every aspect of care. We don’t separate addiction treatment from mental health support—our team treats them as interconnected parts of the whole person.

“For years I struggled with depression and alcohol use, but every program I tried treated them as separate issues. At Windansea Recovery, I finally found a place that understood how connected my mental health and addiction were. Through CBT, group therapy, and holistic practices like yoga, I learned how to manage both. Today, I’m sober, more stable, and finally feel hopeful about my future.” – Emily R., Client
“Anxiety fueled my prescription drug use, and my life quickly unraveled. The team at Windansea Recovery created a dual diagnosis plan just for me, blending DBT, relapse prevention, and 12 Step support. With their guidance, I regained my confidence, rebuilt trust with my family, and developed healthy ways to cope with stress. I’m grateful to finally feel in control again.” – David M., Client
At Windansea Recovery, we believe recovery means more than abstinence. It means healing both the mind and the body so clients can live fully, with resilience and purpose. By treating co-occurring conditions together, we empower individuals to break free from cycles of relapse and reclaim their lives.
