Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center
Since dually diagnosed clients do not fit well into
most traditional 12-step programs, special peer groups based on the principle
of treating both disorders together should be developed at the community level.
Individuals who develop positive social networking have a much better chance
of controlling their illnesses. Healthy recreational activities are extremely
important. Drug and alcohol problems and mental illnesses often go hand-in-hand.
Among alcoholics, nearly half have an overlapping mental illness or other substance
dependence problem. Substance dependence can cover up a serious psychiatric
illness, while depression can disguise a substance-use disorder.
Dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurence of mental
health disorders and substance abuse disorders (alcohol and/or drug dependence
or abuse). Dual Diagnosis, and Dual/Multiple disorders profiles may include
the following:
1. Severe/major mental illness and a substance disorder(s)
2. Substance disorder(s) and a personality disorder(s)
3. Substance disorder(s), personality disorder(s) and substance induced acute
symptoms that may require psychiatric care, i.e., hallucinations, depression,
and other symptoms resulting from substance abuse or withdrawal.
4. Substance abuse, mental illness, and organic syndromes in various combinations.
Organic sydromes may be a result of substance abuse, or independent of substance
abuse.
