Question:
Is there a chance that someone with dual diagnosis can be treated?
I was just wondering if someone with dual diagnosis is bound to struggle with the disorder for as long as he lives, or if he still has a chance to lead a normal life.
Answers:
Fortunately, dual diagnosis can be treated. This, however, takes a lot of time. Treatment programs must focus on both disorders (substance abuse and psychological problem) as treating only one would mean that there would be a bigger chance of relapse. The patient will have to undergo counseling, therapy, and medication. The support and love of the patient's family members and friends are also very important at this stage.
