Abstract

Persons with dual disorders of psychiatric illness and substance dependence represent a significant portion of clients in mental health, chemical dependency, and/or other rehabilitation programs. Several psychiatric disorders are commonly found in persons with coexisting substance dependence disorders, including anxiety and mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. In this paper, dual disorder classifications are discussed as well as information on the prevalence of each disorder. The differing views regarding dual disorders treatment are presented, as well as the models used in chemical dependency, psychiatric, and integrated treatment settings. Implications for rehabilitation counseling and future research needs are also addressed.
