Does Alzheimer's count as a mental disorder for a dual diagnosis?

I am researching Substance Abuse Rehab facilities and have found that dual diagnosis or occurring mental disorders in conjunction with addiction needs to be treated differently. The normal mental disorders mentioned were bipolar, depression, anxiety, Schizophrenia, etc, but no mention of Alzheimer's. Would this apply in the case of dual diagnosis?
