Introduction to Dually Diagnosed

What is/are Dually Diagnosed?

Dually Diagnosed - Therapies directly targeting the addiction are warranted among such dually diagnosed patients. ^[1] ABSTRACT Introduction: The purpose of this study was to gain additional insight on patterns of behavior of three individuals dually diagnosed with intellectual disability (ID) and bipolar disorder as they cycled between elevated and depressed mood states. ^[2] gov endorsed treatment intervention for dually diagnosed offenders. ^[3] &NA; Alcohol use disorder is highly co‐morbid with traumatic stress disorders in humans, and dually diagnosed individuals cite negative affective symptoms as a primary reason for drinking alcohol. ^[4] However, they are at greatest vulnerability to relapse with substances within the first 6 months after leaving MHC, suggesting greater substance-specific supports in the community for dually diagnosed participants may be beneficial. ^[5] BACKGROUND Persons dually diagnosed with opioid and cocaine dependence (OD + CD) present a clinical challenge and are at risk of morbidity and mortality. ^[6] As such, it is important to understand how sleep affects PTSD treatment among patients dually diagnosed with SUD and how sleep changes over time in a residential unit for SUDs. ^[7] Data were drawn from two larger studies conducted with dually diagnosed, homeless individuals (n = 373). ^[8] Administrative data were linked over a 17-year period for 1996 people who were dually diagnosed with schizophrenia and opioid dependence and, as an indicator of further marginalization, experienced at least one episode of correctional supervision in British Columbia. ^[9] METHODS Formerly homeless dually diagnosed Veterans in supported housing were surveyed in three waves for 1 year, with measures of treatment interests, health problems, social support, clinician-assessed risk of housing loss, and sociodemographics. ^[10]
