Highlights:

Individuals with both mental and substance abuse disorders are said to be "dually diagnosed." Other terms for this are "co-occurring disorders" and "comorbidity."

By 1999, nearly half of the substance abuse treatment facilities provided programs for dually diagnosed clients.

Fifty-seven percent of facilities with a mental health focus provided dual diagnosis programs.

Facilities offering hospital inpatient care were more likely to provide service for dually diagnosed clients than were other types of facilities.
