Contrasting maintenance and recovery approaches to the care of people with dual diagnosis

Abstract

Leroy Simpson's experiences of service provision have been mixed: some services have promoted what he refers to as the ‘maintenance’ approach, whereas others have taken a ‘recovery’ approach. Leroy is a strong advocate of the recovery approach and is now involved in delivering recovery training. In this interview, Cheryl Kipping finds out more about how Leroy's experiences have shaped his views and his own recovery.
