DUAL DIAGNOSIS SERVICES

Program Mission: To provide comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment and rehabilitation services that move dually diagnosed individuals toward psychiatric and substance abuse recovery, so that they may become more self-sufficient and increase their independence in the community.

Dual Diagnosis Services was established using LPACAP funds and from a reallocation of internal resources as part of the reorganization in the Behavioral Healthcare Division. Dual Diagnosis Services provides specialized, integrated, intensive outpatient services to individuals who experience both a serious mental illness and a substance dependence disorder, and as a result have multiple and complex needs. The program provides community based case management services, psycho-educational groups, therapy groups, counseling, family involvement, psychiatric services, and skill development to assist these consumers to live productively in the community.

  • The benchmark for 90 day retention in treatment is 34-47%, according to studies by Bennet, Bellack, and Gearon, 2001: Drake, McHugo, and Noordsey, 1993; Hanson, Kramer and Gross, 1990; Hendrickson and Schmal, 2000; Koefoed, et al, 1986.
  • In FY 2004, only one consumer survey was taken of a small sample. The sample in 2005 is expected to be larger, reflecting a more accurate percentage.
