Effective Clinical and 12-Step Model Integration for Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many clients with dual diagnoses are being treated by clinicians at various levels of care along with attending 12-Step programs. Many are receiving differing information at 12-Step meetings that may seemingly contradict their mental health treatment. This presentation is intended to help clinicians to synthesize the clinical and 12-Step models. There will be a brief overview of evidence-based dual diagnosis treatment and how 12-Step Programs are often involved in that process for many clients. The
purpose, intention, and limitations of 12-Step programs will be described. Appropriate and inappropriate integration of 12-Step program concepts, literature, and suggestions that complement dual diagnosis treatment will be described. Integrated treatment suggestions with being offered in addition to case examples in order to demonstrate how best to combine these treatment modalities.
