“Living with Co-Occurring Addiction and Mental Health Disorders, a Handbook for Recovery”
by Mark McGovern with Scott Edelstein, Hazelden Publishing
Along with accepted traditional methods of treatment such as individual and group counseling, men diagnosed with dual disorders will participate in a program called “Living with Co-Occurring Addiction and Mental Health Disorders” The handbook, written by Mark McGovern, Ph.D., pulls from a program created by a group from the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth for individuals suffering from dual disorders. The easy to follow handbook encourages you to work with your counselor in customizing a treatment plan that works best for you. You will be educated on treatment options while setting achievable goals and building a support network.
