| Popis: | Persons who are dually diagnosed with substance abuse and mental illness present a significant challenge to mental health professionals in all phases of treatment. The authors explore some of the factors that contribute to the confusion surrounding the care of these persons, including the prevalence and complexity of the problem; current understanding of the effect of drug-induced neurophysiological changes on the central nervous system and the cognitive function/dysfunction of persons with a major mental illness; the difficulties presented by parallel treatment systems for mental illness and chemical addiction; and the need for a shift to interdisciplinary education to integrate services into the practice setting. |
