About PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It is often linked with drug and alcohol addiction, as individuals may turn to substances as a way to cope with disturbing symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and insomnia. The simultaneous presence of a mental health disorder like PTSD alongside a substance use disorder is what constitutes a dual diagnosis. Treating PTSD and addiction effectively requires an integrated approach that addresses both conditions concurrently. At addiction treatment rehabs offering dual diagnosis for PTSD, therapies are tailored to manage trauma while promoting sobriety. These facilities use evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tackle PTSD symptoms while employing various addiction treatment methods like detox and rehabilitation programs. Addiction Treatment Services offers a comprehensive directory of rehab centers across the USA, providing detailed information on facilities that specialize in dual diagnosis treatments, including for PTSD. This directory simplifies the search process, ensuring access to personalized and specialized care necessary for recovering individuals facing the challenges of co-occurring disorders.

Every listing on this page is a real, licensed provider. We are an independent directory: calling the helpline is confidential, and you are never obliged to enter any program you are shown. You can also reach the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, 24 hours a day.

What to Look For in a Center Treating PTSD

Co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions are the norm rather than the exception, and treating only one of them tends to produce a short-lived result. What matters in a program handling PTSD is whether the two are treated in one integrated plan by one team, or sequentially by two teams that do not talk to each other.

1

A psychiatric prescriber on staff

Ask whether there is a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, and how often you would actually see them — not whether one is "available".

Ask about PTSD Is a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner on staff, and how often would I see them?

2

Integrated rather than parallel treatment

One treatment plan addressing both conditions, discussed in one clinical team meeting.

Ask about PTSD Are both conditions addressed in a single treatment plan?

3

Continuity of existing medication

Programs that discontinue psychiatric medication on admission as a matter of policy should be treated with caution.

Ask about PTSD Can I continue the psychiatric medication I am currently prescribed?

4

Trauma-informed practice

Trauma histories are common and unaddressed trauma is a frequent driver of relapse.

Ask about PTSD What happens if I need a higher level of psychiatric care while I am here?

5

Crisis capability

What the program does if symptoms escalate, and whether it can transfer you to a higher level of psychiatric care without discharging you from treatment.

Ask about PTSD How does the discharge plan handle ongoing psychiatric follow-up?

Questions to Ask About PTSD. Ask these on the first call, before you tour anything or send a deposit. Written answers are better than verbal ones, and a program that will not answer plainly has answered.

If you would rather not make those calls yourself, our specialists will make them with you — confidential, at 1-888-685-2199. You can also check how accreditation works, what your insurance is likely to cover, or the payment options available if you are uninsured.

PTSD: Frequently Asked Questions

It refers to a substance use disorder occurring alongside a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder or ADHD. This combination is common, and the evidence favours integrated treatment — both conditions addressed together by one team — over treating one and then referring out for the other.
In a program equipped for co-occurring conditions, yes: your medication should be reviewed by a prescriber and adjusted clinically, not stopped as a matter of admission policy. If a program tells you it does not permit psychiatric medication, that is a strong indication it is not set up to treat co-occurring conditions.
Mental health and substance use benefits are both subject to federal parity requirements, so plans covering them cannot apply more restrictive limits than they do to comparable medical and surgical care. Coverage still turns on medical necessity, network status and authorisation, so verify benefits for the specific facility before admission.
