Dual diagnosis, co-occurring disorders and MICA treatment in all states.
***BOOKMARK DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT***
Most people do not know Dual-Diagnosis and Mentally Ill & Chemically Abusing (MICA), though similar, are not the same diagnosis and do not necessarily receive the same treatment.
Dual diagnosis is attributed to a person who has equal needs for treating a mental illness and chemical dependency or substance abuse.
Dual diagnosis treatment focuses equally on mental health issues and chemical dependency.
Mentally Ill and Chemically Abusing (MICA) is attributed to a person who's mental health issues take precedents over, or have a greater need than their substance use.
Mentally Ill and Chemically Abusing treatment focuses first on a clients mental health needs, then on their substance use.
The differences between Dual-Diagnosis and Mentally Ill and Chemically Abusing are subtle enough that we address them as a single issue (most of the time), but keep in mind they are different, and a professional assessment should be sought prior to determining the correct path for treament.
