Identifying and Helping Patients With Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Disorders: A Guide for Primary Care Providers (Fall 2006, Volume 4, Issue 2) explores the complex relationship between co-occurring substance use and mental disorders, including the identification of patients with co-occurring disorders and providing or obtaining appropriate treatment for such disorders. This publication provides primary care providers concise, easy-to-understand information to help them more effectively treat their patients with co-occurring disorders. NCADI Publication No. MS994.
Substance Abuse in Brief Fact Sheets are written for health and human services professionals who do not work directly in the substance abuse prevention and treatment fields but whose work and policies are affected by issues related to mental health and the prevention of and treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders. The purpose of the Fact Sheets is to provide useful, easy-to-understand information about substance abuse topics and offer insight into each topic’s applicability to health and human service fields, beyond the core substance abuse prevention and treatment areas.
