  • Existing interventions may not adequately address the unique needs of families affected by dual disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the rationale for integrating family-centered approaches in treating dual disorders.
  • To introduce and describe the Family Intervention for Dual Disorders (FIDD) program.
  • To outline the program's structure, including single-family and multiple-family group formats.

Main Methods:

  • Development and manualization of the FIDD program.
