Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Is dual diagnosis recovery harder than recovery from just substance abuse? People who struggle with dual diagnosis struggle with substance abuse and mental health problems. They may feel that their challenges are harder, more significant or that their battle is harder won. The truth is that battle against addiction is challenging. There is no scale to rate how challenging recovery is, each of us struggles with our own recovery and our own individual challenges. There are many techniques and tools for helping us along the path to dual diagnosis recovery, including group therapy and meetings. Many people find that the hardest time for them is when they are alone or feel as though they cannot reach out for support. During those times, meditation techniques can be helpful for reducing stress and focus on finding the inner strength to maintain a sober lifestyle.
