Psychiatric Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorder

The nature of dual disorders becomes even more complex when alcohol and drug use is considered. For example, there are many types of intoxicating chemicals that people can choose from today. Some people may choose to use a single type of drug while another person may use many different types of drugs. Some people use large amounts for the effects while other people use smaller amounts. Some people use daily, while others use on periodic binges. It becomes evident that there are many different forms of dual diagnosis when the different types of psychiatric illnesses and different patterns of alcohol and drug use are all taken into account. However, in terms of dual recovery, they do share one thing in common: an individual will need to focus their recovery efforts on both their emotional or psychiatric illness and their chemical dependency within a comprehensive personal program of recovery.

Dual diagnosis can be difficult to identify because the symptoms of one disorder often mimic the symptoms of the other disorder. Many of the symptoms of drug abuse, such as extreme anxiety, depression, paranoia, delusions and hallucinations are similar to symptoms of mental illness. The impact that the symptoms have on a person’s life causing severe decline in self-care and functioning can also be a symptom of a psychiatric problem.
