Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Wilmington: Integrated Care for Mental Health and Recovery

Mental health and substance use are deeply connected. For many people, depression, anxiety, or trauma can lead to self-medication - and over time, substance use can intensify those same symptoms. When both occur together, it’s known as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder .

At Therapeutic Infusions, we provide compassionate, integrated care for individuals facing both challenges. Our approach addresses the full picture - mental health, physical health, and the behavioral patterns that link the two.

Understanding Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis means more than managing two separate conditions - it’s about recognizing how each influences the other. A person may begin using substances to cope with anxiety or emotional pain, only to find their symptoms worsening over time. Effective treatment must address both simultaneously.

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) take time to understand your unique history - what led to these patterns, how they affect your life now, and what recovery means to you. Each treatment plan is designed to stabilize symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and build a foundation for long-term wellness.

Comprehensive, Collaborative Treatment

Treatment for co-occurring disorders often includes:

  • Medication management for mood stabilization, anxiety, or sleep regulation
  • Therapeutic support that encourages reflection and emotional resilience
  • Education and coping strategies for preventing relapse and managing triggers
  • Coordination with external support networks such as counseling or recovery programs

Your provider will work closely with you to ensure care feels supportive, not punitive - and that progress happens at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

A Nonjudgmental Space for Healing

We know that stigma and shame often prevent people from seeking help. Our providers are committed to creating an environment where you’re met with empathy, not judgment. Every conversation is confidential, every goal personalized, and every success celebrated.

The Therapeutic Infusions Difference

Our clinic brings together medical expertise and human understanding under one roof. Dr. Joseph Raziano , a board-certified emergency physician with over three decades of experience, and Dr. Jeanne-Marie Raziano , DMin, whose background in ministry informs the practice’s compassion-first philosophy, have built a model of care that treats the whole person - not just the diagnosis.

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners continue that mission, offering thoughtful, ongoing support that honors both the complexity of recovery and the courage it takes to begin.

Accessible, Consistent Care

Whether you’re just starting recovery or managing relapse prevention, our team provides continuity of care with both virtual and in-person appointments. We coordinate closely with other healthcare and recovery providers, ensuring that every part of your treatment works together.

Because lasting recovery isn’t only about stopping a behavior - it’s about restoring health, balance, and peace of mind.
