Abstract
When helping people with Substance Abuse and Mental Health Issues, it is very important to tackle each of the 4 dynamics of human experience to maximise the outcomes as outlined on website Dr Daniel Amen is a psychiatrist in the USA that introduced SPECT scans to reveal functional problems in the brain and uses this 4-fold approach; Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual. to treat his patients. Apart from brain injury from trauma and substance abuse, it is essential for people with dual diagnosis problems to undertake comprehensive biochemical assessment from an integrative doctor to determine deficiencies in key nutrients. These imbalances can significantly affect their moods and how they function, as explained by Dr William Walsh It is important to raise people’s standards from the bare minimum to Optimal Health to go way beyond tolerable recovery.
