Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Kenya

Dual diagnosis means living with an addiction and a mental health condition at the same time, for example alcohol dependence alongside depression, or drug use alongside anxiety or trauma. Each condition affects the other, so both need attention together.

Why integrated care matters

Treating only the addiction can leave the underlying distress untouched, and treating only the mental health condition can be undone by continued substance use. Integrated care plans for both at once.

What treatment involves

• A thorough, confidential assessment of substance use and mental health
• A single treatment plan covering both
• Counselling and therapy suited to each condition
• Medical review where appropriate
• Relapse-prevention and wellbeing planning for after treatment

Getting started

If you are not sure whether this applies to you or a loved one, book a consultation. An assessment is the best way to understand what is happening and what will help.
