DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
DUAL DIAGNOSIS SERVICES
PROGRAM MISSION: To provide comprehensive dual diagnosis
treatment and rehabilitation services to individuals in the County who are
experiencing both serious mental illness and substance abuse dependency.
Dual Diagnosis Services was established from the recent review of
all services and programs within the Behavioral Healthcare Division. It was determined that for the many County
residents who experience both a serious mental illness and a substance
dependence disorder there is a need for more specialized and intensive dual
diagnosis programming. Due to the
complexity of the illness, and the multiple needs of these individuals, an
integrated and intensive level of services is needed. The new dual diagnosis program will provide community based case
management services, psycho-educational groups, counseling, family involvement,
medical services, and skill development to assist these consumers to live
productively in the community. The
staff will be trained in both substance abuse and mental health, and will
provide integrated services.
Experienced professionals, including two nationally known specialists,
are developing the new programming.
