Overview
The Dual Diagnosis course will help you understand and deal with the issues that this condition can bring. The combination of a mental disorder and substance addiction means treatment can be complicated with parallel recovery plans, so the requirements to help sufferers are complex.
This comprehensive course will verify the links between substance abuse and mental health and why they must sometimes be treated separately. Living with Dual Diagnosis can irrevocably damage lives, both to the sufferers and to those around them. Left untreated it can lead to serious life-threatening disorders, and the more it is understood, the more people can be brought back to a normal lifestyle.
By enrolling for this program, you will learn the best methods to deal with drug dependencies and mental well-being, providing vulnerable people with a chance to break away from this destructive condition and heal.
