What is dual diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis, also called co-occurring disorders, is when a person has both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time, such as depression with alcohol use or PTSD with opioid use. The two feed each other: people often drink or use to quiet anxiety, trauma, or depression, while substances deepen those same symptoms. Lasting recovery requires treating both at once.
At Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center, that integrated care goes one step further. Because our lead physician is trained in internal and family medicine, we also address the physical health that addiction and mental illness so often erode.

One team, one coordinated plan
When the same team treats your addiction and your mental health together, nothing falls through the cracks, and recovery finally holds.
- In-house psychiatry
- Physician-led medical care
- Integrated therapy
About half of people who experience a mental health disorder will also experience a substance use disorder in their lifetime, and vice versa. Co-occurring disorders are common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of.
Signs you may be dealing with both
Dual diagnosis can look like:
- Using alcohol or drugs to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or sleep
- Mental health symptoms that worsen when you try to stop using
- Past treatment that addressed only the addiction, or only the mental health, and didn't hold
- Mood swings, isolation, or hopelessness alongside substance use
Why addiction and mental health must be treated together
If that sounds familiar, integrated treatment is designed for exactly this. Treating addiction while ignoring the mental health driving it, or treating mental health without addressing the substance use, usually leads back to relapse. Integrated treatment means one coordinated team and one plan, addressing both conditions at the same time. At Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center, the same physicians who manage your detox and medical care work alongside psychiatry and therapy, so nothing falls through the cracks.
We treat all three, not just two
Most dual diagnosis programs treat two legs of the stool. Because Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center is owned by physicians and includes in-house psychiatry, we care for all three, in person, every day.
Mental health
In-house psychiatry and therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, and more.
Physical health

Addiction

βRegain Hope Detox and Recovery Center in Burbank, CA absolutely changed my life.This is exactly what a detox center should be. From the day I arrived until my graduation 40 days later, every moment was filled with love and care that felt like family.The first week was physically rough, but the staff supported me in every way imaginable. When I didn't feel like eating or getting out of bed, Yolanda the house chef brought me homemade chicken soup, fed me, and gently encouraged me. She made me feel truly welcome.The entire team treated me like a person worthy of the very best. Medical care was excellent β vitals, bloodwork, and constant attention to my wellbeing. Dr. Gomez and Dr. Yoo are outstanding doctors with the biggest hearts. They visited often, even on days off, and went above and beyond.For the Fourth of July, Dr. Yoo came in and barbecued ribs, hamburgers, and hot dogs for us. They even made sure we could watch the big fight. Moments like that meant everything.Whether the house was quiet or full, guest comfort and recovery were always the priority. Andy took us on great outings to Hollywood Blvd., Santa Monica Pier, and Venice Beach. Russell led fun walks, and the laughter with the techs (Patricia, Alex, Miguel, Jonathan, and others) was nonstop. Sara helped me with career ideas, and Jackie became a real friend β we spent many nights talking and watching movies.I mention them because each person played a meaningful role in my recovery and made me feel worthwhile.Dr. Gomez took us to tour excellent aftercare and sober living homes. As a MAT center, their medical expertise made detox far more comfortable than I expected. Weekly sessions with counselor Jack and therapist Nora were also very helpful.The facility is beautiful, with comfortable rooms, giant TVs, a nice kitchen, shaded patio with Jacuzzi, a gym with Peloton, games, and scheduled activities like yoga, aerobics, and music lessons.I've been home nearly three weeks and I'm still clean with real hope for the future. The personalized care here overwhelmed me β I was brought to tears multiple times by how much attention was given to each individual.I could honestly write a book about this place. They don't just treat patients β they genuinely love and believe in you.Thank you to the whole team. I love you all!β
βMy experience at Regain Hope Detox and Recovery Center was wonderful! The space is beautiful, inviting and creates the perfect environment for healing. The Doctors are fantastic, and give a highly personalized and caring experience to guests which makes their six person capacity just the right size. The Staff is lovely and the meals are excellent. Highly recommend this center!β
βWhew this is a good one I have waited this long because I wanted this one to be special. Let's start by saying Regain Hope saved my life in ways I never imagined. Not only did they cater to my every needs they event above and beyond to make my detox as comfortable as possible the staff was super friendly they taught me how to prepare for a life of sobriety that matched my energy Dr Gomez was just awesome she made sure to keep us busy doing fun stuff and every time she came she always had a smile on her face and greeted us with love and kindness and that went a long way Carlos thanks for keeping the fridge stocked with milk you did that sir. We went on really nice outings my favorite was the ocean and the LA ZOO. We also had a special guest named Wes that came and taught us about music and even showed us how to salsa and tango and it was a complete blast. The groups helped me find myself in my. Recovery they taught me relapse prevention skills that I'm currently applying to my life today. Please keep Regain hope in mind when looking for a treatment center because they are the best around the house was very organized and I can't forget our chef Patricia love you Patricia your cooking was phenomenal wish I had a chef life you at the sober living I'm at now but I guess the one we have will do for now. I learned one important thing about Regain Hope while I was there and that's I'm not just a number but that I'm Family and they treated me as such and I'll always remember the hard work they did to make me a better version of myself I love you guys and I will be back soon (to visit of course) thank you for helping me get sober.β
βI graduated successfully from Regain Hope on 6/24/26. Honestly, the staff has become a huge part of my recovery. They made it so much easy for me to do the 30 days, Much love to the doctors our dear chef Yolanda and the whole staff. I'm so glad I chose this place. Thank you!β
βRegain Hope Detox and Recovery completely changed my expectations of what treatment could be like. The two doctors are genuinely caring, compassionate, and always go above and beyond to make sure I get the best possible care and health outcome. Their staff are just as incredible. In past detoxes, I often felt treated like a number, but there they truly make you feel valued and cared for as a person. The level of compassion and attention they give is something special.β
βMy experience at this rehab truly changed my life, and there are so many people there I'll never forget because of the kindness, support, and heart they showed me during one of the hardest times in my life. Yolanda, the cook, brought so much comfort and warmth into the place every single day. It wasn't just the food, although it was always amazing π, it was the love and care behind it. She had a way of making people feel at home, even on the roughest days, and those small moments meant everything. Dr. Gomez treated me with genuine compassion and respect from the beginning. I never felt judged or looked down on. She listened, encouraged me, and helped me believe I was capable of getting better even when I doubted myself. That kind of kindness can truly change someone. Carlos made such a huge impact on my recovery journey too. His patience, encouragement, and sense of humor helped me get through some really difficult moments. He knew how to make people laugh when they needed it most and reminded us that healing doesn't mean losing joy. I also really appreciated the owners and how attentive they were to everyone's needs. They didn't make the facility feel cold or clinical. They made it feel like home. You could tell they genuinely cared about the people there and wanted us to feel comfortable, safe, and supported while we healed. One of the things that touched me most was how they handled Christmas. Being away from family during the holidays is incredibly hard, but they went out of their way to make it feel special and comforting for all of us. They created an atmosphere full of warmth, love, laughter, and togetherness that made being away from home a little easier. That kindness meant more than words can really explain. I also want to recognize the entire staff because every single person there played a part in making my experience meaningful. From the techs to the counselors to everyone working behind the scenes, they treated us with patience, understanding, and genuine care. They celebrated our progress, supported us on our hardest days, and never made us feel alone. You could tell this wasn't "just a job" to them. The compassion they showed every day made a lasting impact on me. What I'll always remember most is that this place gave me more than recovery tools. It gave me memories, laughter, and moments of real connection. We had so many fun times together, and in a place where everyone is fighting their own battles, those laughs and shared moments meant more than people probably realize. We supported each other like family. Recovery is hard, messy, emotional work, but the people here helped make it feel possible. I'm deeply grateful for everyone who helped me along the way, and I'll carry those memories and lessons with me for the rest of my life. β€οΈβ
