Dual Diagnosis Treatment

A Co-Occurring Disorder is when a person is affected by a psychiatric, emotional or substance abuse illness. Substance abuse and psychiatric illness are independent of each other making Co-Occurring disorder treatment unique, and complex. Common Co-Occurring Disorders may include Bi-Polar 1 and 2, manic depressive, dual personality disorder, schizophrenia, and many more. Patients entering treatment are typically seen by a psychiatrist on a daily basis, to monitor medication, and the reaction to them. With the proper medication, and recovery plan, patients with Co-Occurring Disorder are more likely to maintain long term recovery..
