The diagnosis and management of patients with combined psychiatric and substance use disorders is an important aspect of modern psychiatry, and psychiatrists should be strongly encouraged to become involved in this area. These efforts should be supported by training and educational programs involving a wide range of institutions, including local treatment facilities, hospital centers, universities, and government. Restructuring or adding improvements to existing psychiatric treatment facilities and maintaining good working relationships with existing substance abuse treatment programs are desirable goals for improving care of dually diagnosed patients.
患有精神疾病与物质使用障碍合并症患者的诊断与管理是现代精神病学的一个重要方面，应大力鼓励精神科医生参与这一领域。这些工作应得到涉及广泛机构的培训和教育项目的支持，这些机构包括当地治疗机构、医院中心、大学和政府。对现有的精神科治疗设施进行重组或改进，并与现有的药物滥用治疗项目保持良好的工作关系，是改善双重诊断患者护理的理想目标。
