TL;DR
Despite the availability of effective treatments, most individuals who had co-occurring mental health and substance use problems were not receiving effective treatment and efforts to improve the care provided should focus on strategies that increase the delivery of effective treatment.
Abstract
Despite the availability of effective treatments, most individuals who had co-occurring mental health and substance use problems were not receiving effective treatment. Efforts to improve the care provided to persons who have co-occurring disorders should focus on strategies that increase the delivery of effective treatment.
