# Dual Recovery

> An independent Canadian educational and treatment-navigation resource for dual diagnosis / concurrent disorders — carrying both an addiction and a mental-health condition at the same time (dualrecovery.ca). Editorial line: integrated care (both conditions, one team, one plan) is the clinical standard, nobody is "too complicated," and prescribed psychiatric medication is treatment — never a moral question. The self-check is eight reflective questions about the interplay between the two conditions; it runs entirely in the browser, stores nothing, and is educational, never a diagnosis. The service is free for people seeking help: with express consent we introduce a person to up to 3 matched licensed treatment providers, with both conditions on the referral; providers pay flat marketing fees for introductions — never per-admission. Facility phone numbers and program prices are intentionally not published; connection happens through the site with consent. In a crisis, people should call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline, Canada) or call 911 — one number for the whole person; nobody has to sort out which crisis it is first. Part of the Rehab Near Me network of independent recovery resources, which share one consent-gated connection service. We are not affiliated with Dual Recovery Anonymous, Dual Diagnosis Anonymous, Emotions Anonymous, or any fellowship named on the site.

## Start here
- [The 2-minute self-check](https://dualrecovery.ca/assessment): 8 reflective yes/no questions about the interplay — using to quiet symptoms, the rebound, being treated in halves, medication drift; runs in-browser, nothing stored, not a diagnosis
- [Find your fit — 2-minute match](https://dualrecovery.ca/match): a short questionnaire (the substance side, the mental-health side, a judgement-free medication question, province, funding) ending in a consented warm introduction with both conditions on the referral
- [Get help](https://dualrecovery.ca/get-help): direct consented callback form

## Understand it
- [Integrated care — what it looks like & how to ask](https://dualrecovery.ca/programs): the kinds of concurrent-disorders help that exist in Canada, the exact ask-script sentence that changes intake routing, and the three follow-up questions that separate integrated programs from hopeful brochures (no prices, no facility phone numbers)
- [DRA & DDA — dual-recovery peer support](https://dualrecovery.ca/pathways): plain-language, independent descriptions of Dual Recovery Anonymous, Dual Diagnosis Anonymous, and Emotions Anonymous, with official links only (meetings are free, explicitly medication-affirming; we are not affiliated with any fellowship)
- [The first 72 hours](https://dualrecovery.ca/guide): keep the medication running and write the bad-night card, name both problems in one sentence, say the ask-script to an intake worker
- [Crisis & recovery resources](https://dualrecovery.ca/resources): verified crisis lines incl. 988 and Ontario's ConnexOntario mental-health & addiction line, plus the official dual-recovery fellowships
