The
DASIS Report: Facilities
Offering Special Programs or Groups for Clients with Co-Occurring Disorders,
2004
Highlights:
- Persons admitted
for treatment with both psychiatric and substance abuse disorders
are said to have "co-occurring disorders." Other terms for this
are "comorbidity" and "dual diagnosis." SAMHSA's
annual National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS)
of all known facilities (including both public and private facilities)
in the United States asked about special programs or groups for clients
with co-occurring disorders.
- Of the 13,454 facilities
that responded to SAMHSA's N-SSATS, 4756 facilities (35%) had special
programs or groups for clients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance
use disorders in 2004.
- Facilities operated
by State governments were most likely to offer special programs or
groups for clients with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric
disorders (50%), followed by those operated by local governments (44%),
the Federal government (41%) and private non-profit organizations
(36%).
- Facilities operated
by private-for-profit organizations (31%) and Tribal governments (29%)
were least likely to offer special programs or groups for clients
with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric disorders
- Facilities with special
programs or groups for clients with co-occurring substance abuse and
psychiatric disorders were more likely than those not offering such
special programs or groups to offer a number of services, including
family counseling (83% vs. 73%), Hepatitis B testing (30% vs. 19%),
transitional social services (65% vs. 49%), domestic violence services
(40% vs. 29%), and HIV testing (38% vs. 28%).
