Co-Occurring Disorders / Dual Diagnosis

The term dual diagnosis is used to refer to people with both a substance abuse problem and a mental health disorder.  Common example diagnoses include depression and alcohol abuse, psychosis and hallucinogenic use, or anxiety and opiate abuse.  The possible dual diagnosis range is very broad and includes the full spectrum of mental health issues and abuse of substances.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment
