Description
Based on several studies, it has been shown that individuals experiencing both a mental health and chemical dependency diagnosis have a better chance at a successful recovery if both diagnoses are treated simultaneously. To test this, 50 inpatient client charts from a local chemical dependency treatment center were reviewed to determine whether or not individuals with co-occurring disorders were less successful then those with only a chemical dependency diagnosis. Different variables such as initial risk scores and subsequent discharge scores; presence of a mental health diagnosis; voluntary or court ordered treatment; discharge status; etc. were compared to determine if results were congruent with previous studies. Results and conclusion not available at time of submission.
