This comprehensive clinical handbook provides virtually everything needed to plan, deliver, and evaluate effective treatment for persons with substance abuse problems and persistent mental illness. From authors at the forefront of the dual disorders field, the book is grounded in decades of influential research. Presented are clear guidelines for developing integrated treatment programs, performing state-of-the-art assessments, and implementing a wide range of individual, group, and family interventions. Also addressed are residential and other housing services, involuntary interventions, vocational rehabilitation, and psychopharmacology for dual disorders. Throughout, the emphasis is on workable ways to combine psychiatric and substance abuse services into a cohesive, unitary system of care. Designed in a convenient large-size format with lay-flat binding for ease of photocopying, the volume contains all needed assessment forms, treatment planning materials, and client handouts, most with permission to reproduce.

I love this book! It was recommended to me by a professor and I now find myself recommending it to everyone I know that works with the dually-diagnosed or just Mental Health, or just the AODA population. The chapters offer background information as well as the different theories that are and were used with this population and why the intergraded treatment is the best and most successful treatment modality. The appendix is the best part, it offers hand-outs (which are easy to understand and are loved by clients and family members) on various mental health and addiction issues and treatment plans. I have about 10 other books on dual diagnosis and feel that this book is the only one that I can apply to my practice!

I'm not a clinician, but a family member, and found this book the most thorough, well-reasoned, thought-provoking and helpful of the many on mental illness I've read over the last 12 years. Superlative description of both the formidable challenges involved in treating people with dual diagnoses, and the extensive array of interventions that can be successfully employed from numerous directions in order to help them help themselves.

I recommend this book as I worked at Capitol Region MentalHealth Center’s Assertive Treatment Team II in Hartford, CTand participated in the study, helping dual-diagnosed clients.The study was extremely effective as we cut down on hospitaladmissions and changed the lives of many of our clients for thebetter.

Helpful resource for helping professionals who will be interacting with individuals who have co-occurring disorders. Provides information regarding integrated treatment.

This book is considered to be the bedrock of IDDT treatment education and treatment planning.

I need the book for my class, but it is not easy to understand.

highighted sections are a little distracting
