Axis I

The MacAndrews Scale of the MMPI differentiated 21 dual-diagnosis substance abusers with a DSM-III—R, Axis I diagnosis from a group of 21 single-diagnosis substance abusers and 18 dual-diagnosis substance abusers with an Axis II diagnosis. Subjects were 50 substance-abuse only and 39 dual-diagnosis, hospitalized men. Research must take into account the heterogeneous nature of psychiatric diagnoses within the substance-abusing population.

The Impact

Individuals who have a dual diagnosis of substance abuse and chronic mental illness pose unique challenges in the delivery of vocational rehabilitation services. Barriers to service provision include an underestimation of prevalence; agency classifications that require a separation of disability conditions into primary and secondary disability; a lack of counselors’ awareness of the unique needs of this population; and the impact of negative attitudes and stigma on vocational success. Although individuals with dual diagnosis can benefit from rehabilitation services and stable employment, changes in the traditional service delivery system are recommended. To address the unique needs of this population, rehabilitation practitioners are encouraged to seek specialized training and continuing education through regional training programs and interagency consultation.

Substance Abuse Disorders

The study examined vocational rehabilitation outcomes of persons who were dually diagnosed with mental health and substance abuse disorders. The study sought to examine whether differences existed in vocational rehabilitation outcomes based upon the individuals' race by examining the 2002 RSA-911 database containing successful and unsuccessful closures (status 26 and 28). MANOVA and Chi-square analyses showed that minorities earned lower wages and received less college training than their non-minority counterparts. The results of the study indicated that statistically significant differences existed in vocational rehabilitation outcomes for individuals who are dually diagnosed, with minorities faring worse than their non-minority counterparts.

Promising Treatment

Over the past decade, the importance of co-occurring posttraumatic disorders in patients with substance dependence has become increasingly apparent. In clinical populations of addicted patients, about 25 to 50 percent receive a lifetime diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The talk will give an overview of the prevalence of PTSD and other trauma related disorders in European samples of patients with substance dependence. Moreover, data on experiences with the German version of an integrated treatment program for PTSD and substance abuse („Seeking Safety”, Najavits 2002) in N = 38 female outpatients with alcohol dependence will be reported. The results suggest that participants’ satisfaction with the content of the treatment, its structure and the session handouts was high. “Seeking Safety” therefore seems to be a promising treatment also for European patients with the dual diagnosis of PTSD and substance abuse.
