Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Massachusetts
When mental health challenges and substance use disorders occur together, healing requires a coordinated approach. At Northstar Recovery Center, our Dual Diagnosis programs are designed to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
If you or a loved one is living with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or another mental health condition and struggling with alcohol or drug use, we’re here to help with integrated, evidence-based care in a supportive and structured environment. Contact us today to learn more about our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center in Massachusetts.
What Is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis treatment is designed for individuals facing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. These conditions often feed into each other—making recovery more complex without integrated care.
At Northstar, we understand that mental and emotional pain can fuel substance use, and that addiction can worsen depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our clinical team addresses both conditions simultaneously to break this cycle and help you regain control of your life.

Why Does Dual Diagnosis Treatment Work?
Here’s how integrated treatment at Northstar can support true healing for co-occurring disorders:
Whole-Person Healing
You’re not just your addiction or your mental health condition—you’re a complex individual with a full story. Our program supports you as a whole person, offering trauma-informed, compassionate care.
Better Outcomes
Research shows that integrated treatment leads to better recovery outcomes than treating each issue separately, including lower relapse rates. Our clinicians collaborate to deliver a personalized, coordinated plan.
Real-Life Tools
We teach practical skills for managing stress, emotions, and triggers—tools you can use outside the clinic, in real life.
Flexible Scheduling
Treatment works around your life, with morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available in-person or virtually.
