Dual Diagnosis

Louisiana MENTOR supports many people who are dual diagnosed with both intellectual disabilities and mental illness.  Because our programs are tailored to the specific needs of those we serve, Louisiana MENTOR is able to support people with dual diagnoses throughout our range of home and community-based programs.

Working with an individual’s mental health professional, Louisiana MENTOR staff work to support an individual in the areas of psychopharmacology (medication monitoring, side-affect monitoring), therapy, and other supports such as specially tailored day programming.
