    An Integrated Dual Recovery Program
                                       

The ADMIRE Plus program is funded by the Arizona Department of Health Services, Division of Behavioral Health Services, via the Community Partnership of Southern Arizona, and by La Frontera Center, Inc. Research/evaluation is funded by a grant from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The program provides an opportunity for dually diagnosed clients (persons with both a serious mental illness and a substance abuse problem) to learn how to effectively cope with and manage psychiatric symptoms while also reducing the frequency and severity of substance abuse, leading to abstinence.
