The Impact Of Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health Disorders In San Diego, CA

Mental health issues and mood disorders pose a particular concern in San Diego County, with approximately 5 percent of San Diegans living with serious mental illness. This number increases to 8 percent among low-income households. To ensure the welfare of our communities, including the most vulnerable populations, a collaborative care model must be adopted in the future.

  • Veterans – San Diego takes pride in being a military town, with nearly 20,000 veterans receiving care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the VA San Diego Healthcare System since 2010. Unfortunately, 12 percent of all veterans are diagnosed with PTSD.

  • Ex-offenders – Ex-offenders in San Diego County have one of the highest recidivism rates in California, with nearly 74 percent returning to prison within two years of release. The connection between mental health and incarceration is well-documented, with approximately 56% of state prisoners, 45% of federal prisoners, and 64% of local jail inmates experiencing a mental health problem.

  • Older population – As of 2030, the aging population in San Diego County is expected to double, with an estimated 1-5% affected by depression. The rate significantly increases for those with other chronic health conditions, particularly medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and heart disease.

What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment simultaneously addresses substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders, recognizing the strong link between drug addiction and mental health issues. This treatment approach is based on evidence that shows how it’s more effective to treat these issues together rather than separately. Dual diagnosis treatment typically covers mental health conditions such as:

  • Schizophrenia & Thought Disorders – These disorders can lead to symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia, significantly impacting daily functioning. Thought disorders include schizophrenia, schizoaffective, schizophreniform, and delusional disorders.

  • Depression & Mood Disorders – MMood disorders can cause persistent sadness and increase the risk of substance abuse. They can also result in elevated mood levels, making it difficult to sleep and relax for weeks.

  • Bipolar Disorder – This disorder is characterized by sudden and significant shifts in mood that can affect an individual’s ability to carry out daily responsibilities and tasks.

  • Personality Disorders – Personality disorders like borderline personality disorder can lead to persistent negative thoughts, unpredictable behavior, and difficulty maintaining healthy relationships.

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by compulsive thoughts and behaviors, such as hoarding, checking, and contamination.

  • Anxiety Disorders – Anxiety disorders can cause excessive nervousness and fear, disrupting daily tasks such as school, work, and home life.

Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs

Launch Centers offers a variety of mental health and addiction treatment programs to fit our client’s specific needs and schedules. Our treatment programs include:

  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – This program is suitable for individuals requiring intensive mental health treatment but not hospitalization.

  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – IOP provides structured treatment for mental health and co-occurring disorders and is less intensive than PHP, allowing individuals to balance their treatment with other responsibilities.

  • Standard Outpatient Program (OP) – OP is designed for individuals transitioning from PHP or IOP to a more flexible program that meets their ongoing mental health needs. OP typically involves fewer weekly therapy sessions and focuses on relapse prevention, coping skills, and community integration.

  • Detox – While Launch Centers does not directly provide detox services, we collaborate with local detox centers to provide resources and support for individuals dealing with withdrawal symptoms.

Clients and Professionals Share Their Experience

  • Conner H.

    Launch Centers Treatment was a major help to me. The therapists and staff genuinely cared about me and truly helped me to make a plan for my future. My personal therapists helped me to discover where some of my deeper issues came from. All of the staff worked tirelessly with me to talk through my issues, or just about life, and offered realistic solutions to my current problems and situation. All of the staff went above and beyond and advocated relentlessly for me.

  • Nicole Y.

    This place changed my life! I’ve had good laughs, good cries, shared a lot of heart to heart moments and grew a loving bond with everyone at Launch Centers. I will always be grateful! I really do miss it time to time. I highly recommend Launch Centers!

  • Jenna S.

    Launch changed our lives. Our family had been battling for years to breakthrough to our brother. No amount of rehab or detox had made a difference. He was listless, lifeless and helpless. We feared for his life everyday. The spirit of, repetition in, core values, appreciation of life and dignity and respect that we found through Launch are unparalleled. I can say with full confidence that we never would have seen my “real” brother again if not for this truly magical combination. We were and still are especially grateful for his over-the-top therapist. Her commitment to his privacy and success coupled with her unwavering contact with any and all of us is what bridged our 3,000 mile separation from him.
