Millions of individuals diagnosed with severe mental illness also suffer from a substance use disorder. This book is for these people with dual disorders.

Addiction and Mood Disorders not only gives a message of hope, but also provides practical suggestions on ways to manage these disorders. It gives guidelines and strategies for recovery from dual disorders based on and adapted from various treatments that have proven effective for addiction, mood disorders, or both.

Filled with case examples that show growth and positive change, as well as the difficulties many individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis face. Advocating a "recovery" model in which the affected individual takes responsibility for getting the most out of professional treatment and self-help programs, this book shows that being an active participant is the key to getting the most out of your recovery. 224 pages. Softcover. 2006.
