Dual Diagnosis treatment

Dual Diagnosis treatment is a relatively new innovation in

the field of addiction recovery.People who were

experiencing symptoms of a mental health disorder —

anxiety attacks, depressive episodes, delusional behavior

or mood swings — were treated separately from those who

sought help for drug or alcohol abuse.
