Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment: A Community Approach to Treatment
Friday, May 18, 2012
One of the more difficult clients to work with is the dually diagnosed client that struggles with both mental illness and substance abuse. Key to treatment of the dually diagnosed is treating both diagnoses. The treatment approach must be holistic with a team that has dually trained professionals, and the utilization of natural community supports and resources. Biochemical perspectives will be examined that lend credence to the internal struggles that a dually diagnosed person faces daily.
