Hi Jenny, this link should work http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_062649

Are you in the UK? I will send you some info on dual diagnosis treatment providers, but it would be useful to know where you are.

[dual diagnosis]

Libby, I tried to go to the link but it is inaccessible. Anyway, I am at the moment looking for a center that effectively treats dual diagnosis. From some of my readings, I learned that not all centers are simultaneously attending to substance addiction and mental disorder so I am trying to avoid those. I hope you can help me with this. Thanks.
