Occupational Therapy and Dual Diagnosis

i 1.00 Hours

Course Overview

The dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance use disorders affects millions worldwide. The co-occurrence of these illnesses produces symptoms that affect daily functioning and interfere with occupational performance to a greater degree than a single diagnosis. Because these problems are more severe than those of clients with a single diagnosis, providing treatment for only one of the diagnoses or separate treatment is ineffective. The best practice treatment model is integrated treatment where both illnesses are treated simultaneously in the same setting by professionals trained in both areas of practice using a client-centered recovery model. OTs play a role in the assessment and treatment of clients with dual diagnosis.
