The treatment needs of persons with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders is a relatively new area of inquiry. Even less information is available concerning the treatment concerns of women with dual diagnosis. A focus group was conducted with seven women as part of a larger study of effective treatments for adults with co-occurring disorders. Women responded to questions about what worked and what did not work in their past treatment experiences and what needs to be added for effective treatment. Five primary themes emerged: negative treatment experiences, negative system experiences, desirable treatment characteristics, therapeutic client characteristics, and life issues affecting treatment engagement. Two of the main treatment recommendations that emerged were the need for advocacy assistance with child protective service agencies and the need for providers to use client-centered treatment methods.
患有精神疾病和药物滥用障碍的人群的治疗需求是一个相对较新的研究领域。关于双重诊断女性的治疗问题，可获取的信息更少。作为对患有共病的成年人有效治疗的一项更大规模研究的一部分，我们对七名女性进行了焦点小组访谈。女性们回答了关于她们过去治疗经历中哪些有效、哪些无效以及有效治疗需要增加什么的问题。出现了五个主要主题：负面治疗经历、负面系统体验、理想的治疗特征、治疗性客户特征以及影响治疗参与度的生活问题。出现的两项主要治疗建议是需要儿童保护服务机构提供宣传援助，以及提供者需要使用以客户为中心的治疗方法。
