Therapists with specialized training and experience in chemical health can provide support for chemical dependency and patterns of abuse by using a dual-diagnosis approach that applies DSM-5 substance abuse and chemical dependency criteria to determine the clinical significance of an individuals' pattern of use and any possible interactions with co-morbid mental health problems.
