Those who struggle with this combination may be faced with a powerful recipe for destruction, especially self-destruction. The good news is that there is help. <p/>This handbook draws from an evidence-based program by a team at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, internationally recognized pioneers in the integrated treatment of co-occurring disorders. <i>Living with Co-occurring Addiction and Mental Health Disorders</i> is designed to inform and empower those with such "dual disorders." Author Mark McGovern shows how they can make informed choices about their own treatment and, together with a trained clinician, shape a program that works. <p/>Key topics include: getting an assessment; reviewing treatment options; selecting the right treatment team; setting achievable goals and making positive changes with cognitive-behavioral therapy; building a support network of family and friends; and connecting with others recovering from co-occurring disorders. Informative, thorough, and easy to follow, this book has helped many people with co-occurring disorders thrive and be their own best recovery advocates.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mark McGovern, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychiatry and of Community and Family Medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, specializing in treatment of and research with persons with co-occurring disorders.
