Comorbid
From anxiety and depression to trauma and substance use, we tailor your care plan to reflect the complexity of your experience.
Clarity, support, and structure when you need it most.
When mental health challenges overlap like anxiety with depression, or trauma alongside substance use, things can feel messy, confusing, and overwhelming. You might not fit neatly into a single diagnosis, and that’s okay. Our one-on-one residential programs are designed to meet you in the complexity, helping you make sense of what’s going on and create a clear, sustainable path forward.

One diagnosis doesn’t tell the whole story
Mental health isn’t always neat or clear-cut. For many people, conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, or eating disorders don’t show up in isolation. They overlap, interact, and compound. This is known as comorbidity, and it requires more than a standard approach.
At Noosa Confidential, we specialise in treating complex, co-occurring mental health challenges through integrated, one-on-one programs. We look at the full picture – psychological, physiological, and lifestyle factors, to understand what’s really going on and create a treatment plan that supports lasting, whole-person recovery.
Whether you’ve been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or simply not improving with traditional care, we’re here to help you find clarity, stability, and a clear path forward.
Your journey to stability
Your Plan, Your Way
No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all. We start by hearing your story and digging deeper - reviewing past test results, running targeted assessments, and uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface. Then we build a program tailored to you — including duration, therapies, medical interventions, and support structures that actually make sense for you.
Integrated care for overlapping conditions
Our first priority is stabilising acute symptoms across conditions - whether that’s mood, anxiety, withdrawal, or physical health. We combine clinical care, functional medicine, and somatic therapies to support your nervous system and body while reducing distress.
Untangling the "why"
Addiction and mental health challenges rarely exist in isolation. When your nervous system is constantly on edge, cravings take over, and feelings like shame, guilt, and inflammation pile up, it creates a cycle that fuels self-sabotage.
We work with you to uncover these patterns (both biological and emotional) and help you understand how your nervous system, emotions, and physical health connect. Together, we learn how to shift this dynamic so your body and mind start working for you, not against you.
Change your default
We use proven therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic work, breathwork, movement, and mindfulness to help regulate your nervous system and reconnect mind and body. You’ll learn to build emotional resilience, manage triggers, and challenge unhelpful thoughts - so you stop defaulting to destructive patterns.
Aftercare
Recovery continues after you leave. Every client receives 12 months of structured aftercare, including a dedicated mentor for ongoing support, accountability, and real-world guidance - wherever life takes you.

FAQs
Understanding comorbid conditions (dual diagnosis)
When mental health and addiction challenges occur together, it’s known as dual diagnosis or comorbidity. These conditions often interact in complex ways — making recovery feel more difficult without the right support. This FAQ section answers common questions about co-occurring conditions and how our integrated treatment approach supports lasting recovery.
What is a dual diagnosis or comorbid condition?
Dual diagnosis refers to having both a mental health condition (like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder) and a substance use disorder at the same time. These issues often influence each other and require an integrated treatment plan.
Can I recover if I’ve struggled with both for years?
Yes. Long-term struggle doesn’t mean permanent damage. At NC, we specialise in complex, layered presentations - whether it’s depression and addiction, trauma and chronic illness, or anxiety and disordered eating. We use integrated care and a tailored plan to peel back and get to the root cause of your pain.
What kind of therapies are used for comorbid conditions?
We use a combination of evidence-based therapies, including talk therapy, trauma work, medical support, nutrition, movement therapies, and more — all tailored to your unique needs.
Is residential treatment recommended for dual diagnosis?
Yes. Residential care provides a safe, structured environment where both mental health and substance challenges can be treated simultaneously with round-the-clock support and consistency.
