Frequently Asked Questions about Dual Diagnosis
What causes someone to develop both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder?
The relationship between substance abuse and mental health doesn’t always move in one predictable direction. For some, substance use starts as a way to cope with pain, trauma, or undiagnosed mental health conditions. Others develop mental health struggles as a result of long-term substance use. Our job is to help you untangle that relationship and begin healing on both fronts.
How is Northridge’s approach to dual diagnosis different?
Our program focuses on integrated treatment, where the same treatment team acknowledges your substance use and mental health disorders concurrently. This approach has the potential to be more effective than treating each issue separately when administered by qualified practitioners.
What if I’ve never been diagnosed with a mental health condition before?
That’s okay. Many people uncover underlying mental health needs once they enter treatment. Our clinical team will help assess whether dual diagnosis care is the right fit and make sure you understand every step of the process.

My experience at Northridge Addiction Treatment Center was one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences I have ever had. The staff was amazing; it was very obvious from the start that they truly cared about the clients. They have supported me so much in my recovery and I will be forever grateful for everything they have done for me. I feel that they will continue to support me in my recovery journey even after I go home. I have also made some of the closest and supportive friends I have ever met. I look forward to a lifetime of true friendship with all of them. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this amazing experience. I love you my friends, and I will carry you with me always. Peter JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This has been the most rewarding experience of my life and I’ve made great friends. Jude my counselor was fantastic and very in tune with me during our session. I would like to give a shout out to Andy Woodward who made this experience more fun. Jen, Clint, Brian, Patrick , Kevin, Ty and Lee were all so helpful and made this experience not only bearable but fun for me. I give you all the highest praise! Thank you so much!

Original NATC TAMPA house client. We all know my guy Andy Woodward was a big inspiration for me to get sober Andy sure deserves more money per year than what anyone’s willing to give him. Loved NATC because Andy worked there💯 Miguel NunezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Northridge Addiction Treatment Center in Encino back in March not knowing exactly what I needed, only that I wanted to find the right path for my life. What I found there was more than just a treatment program, I found people who genuinely cared about me, my sobriety, and my future. From day one, I felt seen and supported. I believe that God put me here for a reason, and I want to especially recognize Andy Woodward, who had a massive impact on me. He has a way of breaking down the 12 steps that made them feel doable instead of overwhelming. His groups were some of the most engaging and eye-opening experiences I’ve ever had. He made recovery feel like something I could truly own. I also had an incredible counselor, Jude, who listened deeply and helped me work through some of the harder personal things I had buried for years. There are many others I’m so grateful for, Brian, Anthony, Pat, Olivia, Jen, Justin, and Clint. Each one of them played a part in helping me find hope again. There’s even one more staff member whose name I can’t remember, but I’ll never forget her smile, she had a calming presence that stuck with me, even in my dreams (Maybe Olivia). Idk🤔 This place didn’t just teach me how to stay sober, it taught me how to live with purpose. If you’re even slightly considering getting help, NATC could be that life-changing chapter you didn’t know you needed. Gang Gang Dan EhmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming here I didn’t know anything about recovery or treatment. I am leaving as a graduated member of this program with a plethora of information, connections, friendships, resources and knowledge. This is not just a recovery house. This is a home, the family that is employed here genuinely cares about you and your recovery. Everyone, I mean everyone is here for you. I personally have never felt anything like this. We all share something in common and you are the priority. I would recommend this program to everyone, especially those that I hold close to my heart. Not just this program. but these men and women that are here have changed my life. hunter “m4300sm” boscheeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic treatment center. I was on the fence initially as i have never been through treatment. But, the staff here are very knowledgeable and treat their clients very well. Couldn't recommend it enough.
