Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders

Treating the full picture for lasting recovery

When substance use and mental health challenges occur together, one can fuel the other. Pax Healing’s Dual Diagnosis program addresses both simultaneously—never separately. At our Rochdale facility, we serve adults 18 and older from Worcester County through the Full Day Program (PHP) and daytime or evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Individual therapy is included in these programs. You do not need to choose a level of care before contacting us: an assessment helps determine an appropriate treatment plan. We accept all forms of MassHealth, and admissions can explain insurance benefits and current availability.
