M26: Dual Recovery: 12-Step Programs for Co-Occurring Disorders<br />

Susan Caldwell, MEd, CAC<br />

1.5 hours Focus: Recovery Supports<br />

Description:<br />

Peer Support has existed for many years in 12-step circles. In the Philadelphia area, the first groups for<br />

persons with co-occurring disorders were called “Double Trouble” and their format varied according to the<br />

needs of the group, with some being completely peer led by those in recovery and others co-led by a<br />

professional. This workshop reviews some of the history of such groups and discusses ways to facilitate the<br />

creation and maintenance of them.<br />

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:<br />

• Describe possible structures and functioning of dual recovery 12-step groups;<br />

• Identify benefits and cautions related to dual recovery groups;<br />

• Discuss resources and processes that can be of use in starting and maintaining dual recovery 12-step<br />

groups.<br />
