Description:
Approximately eleven million people in North America have a substance use disorder and at least one other mental health disorder. Those who are struggling with a combination of these disorders may be met with a powerful recipe for destruction, especially self-destruction. The good news is that there is help.
Drawing from an evidence-based program by internationally recognized pioneers in the integrated treatment of co-occurring disorders from the Dartmouth Medical School, Living with Co-occurring Addiction and Mental Health Disorders is a handbook designed to inform and empower those with dual disorders. It allows each person to make the best choices about his or her own treatment and, in collaboration with a trained clinician, sculpt a program that works. Key topics include
- getting an assessment
- reviewing treatment options
- selecting the right treatment team
- setting achievable goals and making positive changes with cognitive-behavioral therapy
- building a support network of family and friends, and connecting with others recovering from co-occurring disorders
Informative, thorough, and easy to follow, this book is designed to help the millions of people with co-occurring disorders thrive and be their own best recovery advocates.
