Dual diagnosis treatment in New Jersey has come a long way in the last couple of years but still do not compare with the dual diagnosis programs in Florida. Most of the dual diagnosis treatment in New Jersey or even in New York for that matter, are edsigned anywhere from a few dayy to a few weeks in either a psychiatric hospital or residential dual diagnosis treatment program. Florida dual diagnosis programs provide care which can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months followed by supportive housing for those individuals that require ongoing structure and care.

This could be the reason that so many people from New York and New Jersey are traveling to Florida for a dual diagnosis treatment program. In many cases, the longer a patient can remain in structure coupled with therapy the better the likelihood of a positive outcome.
