Who We Are
Dominion Hospital offers a Dual Diagnosis (DD) group designed for those diagnosed with a mental illness and also suffering from substance abuse as a secondary diagnosis. The DD group explores substance abuse and offers support using a 12-step approach. A physician must place an order for this program.
It is a series of group therapy sessions. The progrfam begins with an individual assessment to determine the depth and type of abuse or addiction present in an individual's life. After assessment the individual, if deemed appropriate, attends DD groups several times a week, including on-site Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups for those currently staying on the inpatient units.
The three major goals of this program are to stabilize the individual, promote the individual's investment in treatment, and facilitate treatment through the discharge planning process.
