Title: The status of addiction treatment research with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders
Abstract: If you "Google" the term "dual disorder patient," you will see pages of references to the treatment of hypertension and diabetes! Most of us do not think of that combination when we hear the term, but this is just the most common of the many "comorbid" or "co-occurring" combinations of health problems found in contemporary treatment settings. Although the dual disorders of hypertension and diabetes combine to create a very serious condition, the individuals who seek treatment for this combination have some advantages over individuals who seek treatment for a substance use combined with a mental health disorder.
