The Dual Recovery Experience

People recovering from two or more co-occurring problems may address these interacting processes simultaneously (dual recovery) or sequentially (serial recovery). People may be at different stages or levels of motivation for addressing various problems that they are experiencing. The same person can experience differential rates of recovery from multiple disorders/experiences, e.g., mental illness, addiction, traumatic victimization, and loss.
