Dual Diagnosis
Support for mental health and substance abuse concerns at Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital
Often, individuals who are struggling with acute mental illness also suffer from chemical dependency issues at the same time. For some, ongoing untreated substance abuse can result in painful psychiatric challenges. For others, substance abuse may be a misguided attempt to numb the pain of an untreated mental health concern. In any case, if you or a loved one is struggling with mental illness and substance abuse simultaneously, a dual diagnosis program is an ideal setting in which to recover. This form of comprehensive treatment allows participants to address the full spectrum of their symptoms, thus fostering healing on a deeper level.

Adult Programming
Acute psychiatric care for adults at Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital

Older Adult Programming
Acute psychiatric care for older adults at Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital
As adults age, their health can become compromised due to certain physical impairments or symptoms of mental illnesses that affect memory and cognition. At Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital, we work on a voluntary or involuntary basis with senior adults who are in need of stabilization and recovery services due to acute mental health concerns. We partner with family members and loved ones, hospitals, nursing homes, and other community facilities to ensure that the older adults in our community have access to acute psychiatric care that reflects their developmental needs.
