New Directions in Treatment, Education, and Outreach for Mental Health and Addiction

This practice-enhancing volume assembles the latest innovative thinking on working with clients who have both mental health diagnoses and substance use disorders.

Diagnosis is a central focus of the coverage, untangling the often-knotty considerations surrounding dual diagnosis and the complex issues surrounding treatment even in frequently seen combinations.

The section on practice emphasizes meeting patients where they are and making use of their community, cultural, and spiritual contexts in crafting interventions.
