This study compares the social networks, perceived levels of social support, and satisfaction with this support, for people with serious mental illnesses and comorbid problematic use of alcohol and other drugs who are at different stages of substance use recovery. Participants in the late stage of recovery were more likely to perceive greater social support from their non substance-using social contacts than participants in the early stage. This social support was more likely to be from professionals than other non-substance-using contacts in their networks. The support from professionals is discussed in relation to engagement in integrated dual diagnosis interventions.
本研究比较了患有严重精神疾病且合并酒精和其他药物使用问题的人在物质使用康复不同阶段的社交网络、感知到的社会支持水平以及对这种支持的满意度。与处于康复早期的参与者相比，处于康复后期的参与者更有可能从非物质使用的社会联系人那里感知到更多的社会支持。这种社会支持更有可能来自专业人员，而非其社交网络中的其他非物质使用联系人。结合综合双重诊断干预措施的参与情况，对来自专业人员的支持进行了讨论。
