Facilitates Offering Special Programs or Groups for Clients with Co-Occurring Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders
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%).
