Increasingly practitioners are recognising that people using
primary, secondary and social care services frequently have a
combination of substance use, mental health and other needs. This
handbook is the essential guide to address those issues. Whether
you come into contact with people with a dual diagnosis on a
regular basis, or are involved in developing or delivering suitable
services for them, the Handbook will be invaluable for you. It has
been supported by the Department of Health, and builds on their
Good Practice Guide of 2002.
The Handbook has been produced with expert insight from
practitioners and agencies, including the Care Services Improvement
Partnership, the National Treatment Agency, frontline practitioners
and other experts in the field.
The handbook offers:
- Snapshots and case studies illustrating good practice in
services and projects working with
dual diagnosis in a range of settings and locations
- Practical advice for anyone seeking to develop dual diagnosis
services
- An overview of components of good practice, drawn from policy
documents and the experiences of professionals and service
users.
