Dual Diagnosis Case Management in Los Angeles
Licensed clinicians coordinating integrated care for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders across Los Angeles.
Overview
Integrated care for co-occurring disorders in LA
When substance use and mental health conditions exist together — which they often do — treating one without the other leads to poor outcomes. Depression fuels relapse. Untreated addiction undermines psychiatric stability. Psychosis complicates every aspect of substance use treatment. These conditions must be addressed together.
That is what dual diagnosis case management provides: clinical coordination that ensures both conditions are treated simultaneously, at programs genuinely equipped for co-occurring disorders, with providers who communicate and collaborate rather than working in silos.
In Los Angeles, many treatment programs advertise “dual diagnosis” capability. Far fewer are genuinely equipped for it. A case manager who has personally evaluated these programs — and knows the difference between marketing and clinical reality — protects families from costly misplacements.

Common Presentations
Co-occurring conditions we manage
Substance Use + Depression / Anxiety
The most common co-occurring presentation. We coordinate treatment that addresses the mood or anxiety disorder alongside the substance use — not after it.
Addiction + PTSD / Trauma
Trauma and addiction are deeply intertwined. We place clients at programs with trauma-informed care and coordinate with therapists trained in evidence-based trauma treatment.
Substance Use + Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder with co-occurring substance use requires careful psychiatric management and medication oversight. We coordinate between psychiatrists and treatment providers to ensure both conditions are stabilized.
Substance Use + Psychosis
Our deepest area of expertise. Substance-induced psychosis and co-occurring psychotic disorders require a level of clinical sophistication that most case management companies cannot provide. Learn more.
“The term dual diagnosis gets used loosely. What matters is whether the treatment team can actually manage both conditions at the same time. Our job is to make sure the client lands at a program where that happens — not one that just claims it does.”— Jack Foley, LMFT · Founder, Holistic Solutions · Los Angeles, CA

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions, honest answers.
What is dual diagnosis case management?
Dual diagnosis case management is clinical coordination for individuals who have both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition — such as addiction and depression, alcoholism and anxiety, or substance use and psychosis. A dual diagnosis case manager ensures both conditions are treated together, not separately, through integrated care planning and provider coordination.
What dual diagnosis presentations do you work with in Los Angeles?
We work with a wide range of co-occurring presentations including substance use with depression, addiction with PTSD, alcoholism with anxiety disorders, substance use with bipolar disorder, and substance-induced psychosis. Our clinical expertise is deepest at the intersection of substance use and psychotic disorders.
Why does dual diagnosis require specialized case management?
When substance use and mental health conditions co-occur, treating one without the other leads to poor outcomes. Many treatment programs focus primarily on one condition. A dual diagnosis case manager ensures both are addressed simultaneously, places clients at programs equipped for co-occurring disorders, and coordinates between psychiatric and substance use providers.
Do you provide in-person dual diagnosis case management in LA?
Yes. Los Angeles is our headquarters. LA-area clients receive in-person assessments, local coordination with dual diagnosis treatment programs, in-person companionship during transitions, and direct access to our vetted network of providers who specialize in co-occurring disorders.
What treatment programs in LA handle dual diagnosis?
Not all programs that claim to treat dual diagnosis are genuinely equipped for it. We maintain a vetted network of treatment programs in Los Angeles that have the clinical staff, psychiatric capability, and integrated treatment approach necessary for co-occurring disorders. We place clients based on clinical fit, not marketing claims.
