Individuals experiencing dual diagnosis or co-occurring mental health (MH) and alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems and their families have multiple and complex needs that require a high level of responsiveness across all services, levels of care and throughout all phases of recovery including engagement, screening, assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, discharge planning and aftercare.
People with dual diagnosis are the core business of mental health and alcohol and other drug services. Effective services for these people, based on their individual needs, rely on the provision of comprehensive, holistic, person-centred interventions and care.
