Dual Diagnosis Treatment to Address the Underlying Causes of Substance Abuse
The term co-occurring disorders (more commonly known as a dual diagnosis) refers to a secondary diagnosis in addition to substance use. Having a second mental illness is common.
For instance, someone may have bipolar disorder and self-medicate with illicit drugs to stabilize their moods. Effective mental and behavioral health treatment programs, including comprehensive mental health treatment, know that managing these is essential to maintain long-term recovery.
Our treatment center in Tucson offers specialized programs for clients with co-occurring disorders, which can help those with complex needs. Dual diagnosis treatment at Purpose offers trauma-informed care to address underlying issues and promote lasting success in recovery.

Purpose Offers Detox, Inpatient, and Outpatient Rehab Support
Our Tucson Substance Abuse Treatment Center: Levels of Care
Here are some options you’ll find at Purpose Healing Center, a premier residential treatment center:
Medical Detox in Tucson: A Foundation for Sobriety
When you arrive at Purpose Healing Center, you will quickly meet with an intake specialist (as mentioned earlier). Then, you will take the first major step to sobriety: medical detox.
Under the care of a highly skilled team, you will be made as comfortable and safe as possible during detoxification. If you have severe withdrawal symptoms, we prescribe drugs to ease them.
Our Tucson Inpatient Rehab Offers Residential Support
Our residential program provides 24-hour daily care for those with the greatest needs. Clients in the inpatient program center have a supportive, structured environment. It’s our most intensive care.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our PHP is more structured than the IOP services outlined below. Clients receive intensive treatment and go home each night. It also gives the client more time to work with our team, as they come to the treatment program five days a week, six hours a day.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Intensive outpatient programs offer at least nine hours a week of structured therapies to someone struggling with addiction and mental health concerns. This outpatient program allows clients to receive treatment while attending work or school.
What Support Services Are Offered at Purpose Healing Center?
Therapy Plays a Central Role in Success
Our clients receive psychotherapy to resolve the internal conflicts that set up prime conditions for substance abuse. This happens in individual counseling and often includes group therapy. These treatment sessions address the causes of addiction and your relationship with drugs and alcohol. When you understand the underlying harm to your mental health, you gain insight into how you can heal.
Most clients also receive behavioral health treatment, learning how to replace more harmful coping methods (like using substances) with non-harmful new habits (like medication).
Medication Management Assists Recovery
Some addictions scramble the messaging between the brain and the body. Medication management replaces the harmful chemical with a long-acting, less addictive prescription as the brain and body heal.
Aftercare Planning and Addressing Relapse Prevention Effectively
Finishing drug and alcohol rehab programs at Purpose is a great beginning for lasting sobriety, though it takes great care to prevent relapse and continue on the path to a clean and sober life. After leaving the careful watch of our professional staff, here are some things to do around Tucson to continue to progress:
Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous Offer Continuing Care
Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings are key to continued sobriety after leaving our addiction treatment center. The twelve-step program, and/or an alternative like SMART Recovery, effectively replaces group therapy. Here are a few opportunities around Tucson:

Additional Support Resources in Tucson
Some have work to do, rebuilding connections with family members and returning to providing for themselves. Substance use often destroys these things, but recovery is a fresh start. Here are some things to try that support healthy daily living:
- Career Assessment: Take advantage of Pima County’s Comprehensive Career Assessment. This assessment opportunity considers your skills and develops a pathway to a new future.
- Get GED Information at the Pima County Public Library: If drug and alcohol abuse interfered with your high school years, use the days after recovery to look into earning your GED. The Pima County Library can connect you with GED programs and resources.
- Earn a Degree at Pima Community College: Thanks to Arizona’s community college programs, college education is incredibly affordable for Arizonans. Pima Community College can help you refresh old skills or take the plunge into the career you always wanted.
These opportunities can help you gain self-confidence and keep you motivated after leaving the drug and alcohol rehab center.
What Insurances are Accepted at Our Tucson Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehab Programs?
One of the most significant hurdles for those who need addiction treatment is simply paying for their much-needed therapy and detox. Purpose Healing Centers offer a robust and competitive payment structure by accepting a wide range of insurance options.
We take nearly all forms of AHCCCS as well as many private insurance carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and more. We are in-network with these carriers which secures you the best rates in our residential treatment programs and outpatient treatment center.
