About the Book

This counseling manual describes an integrated approach for treating substance use and psychiatric disorders. Dual Disorders Recovery Counseling (DDRC) integrates empirical, clinical and self-help literature, as well as the extensive experiences of the authors who have developed and managed dual disorders treatment programs for almost 15 years. It addresses assessment of dual disorders, motivation and adherence issues, supervision of clinicians, and the application of DDRC to individual, family and group sessions. Different types of group treatment are discussion, and psychoeducational group curricula are provided on 44 group topics (eg., dual disorders, denial, specific substances, coping with anxiety, boredom, anger or depression, sharing positive feelings, financial issues in recovery, family issues in recovery and relapse warning signs). A companion interactive workbook Dual Disorders Workbook: Recovery Strategies for Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders is available for clients.
