This study examined whether a history of criminal justice involvement is related to the use of contemporaneous mental health and substance abuse treatment among adults experiencing co-occurring disorders.
Pooled 2009-2013 data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health were used to analyze patterns of mental health and substance abuse treatment utilization of 8,740 adults with past-year co-occurring disorders.
Individuals with a criminal history were more likely than those without a criminal history to receive both types of treatment or substance abuse treatment alone.
The criminal justice system appears to be facilitating mental health and substance abuse treatment among people experiencing co-occurring disorders but may also be overreliant on substance abuse treatment alone.
本研究探讨有刑事司法介入史是否与同时患有精神疾病和物质使用障碍的成年人接受同期心理健康及物质使用障碍治疗有关。
使用2009年至2013年全国药物使用和健康调查的汇总数据,分析8740名过去一年同时患有精神疾病和物质使用障碍的成年人的心理健康及物质使用障碍治疗利用模式。
有犯罪史的个体比无犯罪史的个体更有可能接受两种类型的治疗或仅接受物质使用障碍治疗。
刑事司法系统似乎在促进同时患有精神疾病和物质使用障碍的人群接受心理健康及物质使用障碍治疗,但可能也过度依赖仅提供物质使用障碍治疗。
