Dual Recovery Anonymous is an independent, twelve step, self-help organization for people with a dual diagnosis. The goal of Dual Recovery Anonymous is to help men and women with chemical dependencies and emotional or psychiatric illnesses get, and remain well. Both illnesses affect those with Dual Diagnosis in every area of life; mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. For more information about Dual Diagnosis or for information about starting a chapter in your town or city, please see the Dual Recovery Website at http://draonline.org/index.html

For more information about Dual Diagnosis see the links on Dr Ivan Goldberg's Substance Abuse and Mood Disorders (Dual Diagnosis) page at http://www.psycom.net/depression.central... The links on this page include topics such as "assessment and treatment of people with dual-diagnosis" and "management of depression in the context of the naltroxene therapy of alcoholism."

If you have experience with dual diagnosis I'd like to hear from you. This is a topic that should spark a debate in our discussion area...hope to see you there.
