Dual Diagnosis Day Treatment Program for Women
A Space Built By Women, For Women
Empowering Women on Their Path to Mental Health and Substance Use Recovery
At Lightwork Therapy & Recovery, we understand the complex journey women face when dealing with both mental health challenges and substance use. That’s why our Dual Diagnosis Day Treatment Program is designed specifically to support women who are navigating these interconnected issues. Led by a compassionate team of female clinicians, our program offers a safe, welcoming environment for healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. With flexible evening hours now available, we make it easier for women to prioritize recovery even with full schedules.
Dual diagnosis—also known as co-occurring disorders—involves facing both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time. For many women, these issues are deeply intertwined; conditions like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or trauma can often lead to or exacerbate substance use as a coping mechanism. Likewise, substance use can worsen or complicate mental health symptoms, making it essential to treat both sides of the issue simultaneously.
Our approach to dual diagnosis goes beyond managing symptoms. At Lightwork, we focus on helping women understand the root causes of their challenges, so they can build a foundation for lasting, meaningful recovery.
Is Our Dual Diagnosis Program Right for You?
Our Dual Diagnosis Day Treatment Program is ideal for women who:
- Are dealing with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, or other related challenges, in addition to substance use issues.
- Have tried other treatments but haven’t found a program that addresses both mental health and addiction together in a way that resonates.
- Need the flexibility of evening hours to accommodate their busy lives, whether balancing work, family, or other responsibilities.
- Are seeking a supportive, women-centered community where they can feel safe to share and grow.
This program is tailored to help women who want a comprehensive, holistic approach to recovery that fits seamlessly into their lives.
Program Highlights
Integrated Treatment for Mental Health and Substance Use
- Personalized Assessments: Every participant undergoes a thorough assessment to identify her unique mental health and substance use challenges. This allows our clinicians to tailor the treatment to each woman’s specific needs.

Evidence-Based Therapies Tailored to Women’s Mental Health and Addiction Needs
Women’s experiences with mental health and substance use are often shaped by life events, social pressures, and relationship dynamics. Our program includes therapies designed to address these unique aspects. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches, women learn how to manage symptoms, reduce triggers, and develop lasting coping skills.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps clients recognize and change harmful thought patterns, particularly those contributing to addiction or negative mental health symptoms.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT focuses on building emotional regulation skills, which are essential for individuals who may use substances to cope with intense emotions.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Many women in our program have experienced trauma, which plays a significant role in both mental health and addiction. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that treatment respects and integrates past experiences while providing tools for healing.
A Community of Women Supporting Women
- Peer Support and Shared Experiences: Women in our program have the opportunity to engage with peers who understand the unique challenges of being a woman in recovery, creating a network of support and encouragement.
- Empowerment and Growth: Beyond addiction and mental health, our program fosters personal growth and self-empowerment, so women leave not only sober but also stronger, more resilient, and prepared for a fulfilling life.
