Substance-related disorders are widespread among the general public and are often accompanied by other psychiatric disorders. However, historical social stigma and other factors have led to underdiagnosis and limited access to care. Cost-effective treatment is best delivered in a comprehensive, flexible continuum of services, which should be accessible on the same basis as other medical care. The American Psychiatric Association should continue to promote access to care, high-quality treatment, education, training, research, parity in third-party coverage, and equal treatment for patients suffering from addictive disorders. This statement was drafted by the Task Force on Psychiatric Services for Addicted Patients. It was approved by the Assembly in November 1995 and by the Board of Trustees in December 1995.
物质相关障碍在普通大众中广泛存在，且常伴有其他精神障碍。然而，历史上的社会污名及其他因素导致了诊断不足和获得治疗的机会有限。具有成本效益的治疗最好在全面、灵活的连续服务体系中提供，该体系应与其他医疗服务一样易于获得。美国精神病学协会应继续推动成瘾障碍患者获得治疗、高质量治疗、教育、培训、研究、第三方保险覆盖的平等对待以及平等治疗。本声明由成瘾患者精神科服务特别工作组起草。于1995年11月由大会批准，并于1995年12月由董事会批准。
