Integration of mental illness and substance abuse treatments is important for patients with "dual diagnosis", the coexistence of an emotional ailment and a chemical dependency. Such comorbidity is usually associated with a poor prognosis. Both disorders require appropriate therapy so that remission of psychiatric symptoms and maintenance of sobriety become reachable goals for these individuals. A joint therapeutic approach improves outcome, functional expectation, and community adjustment.
对于患有“双重诊断”（即同时存在情绪疾病和药物依赖）的患者而言，整合精神疾病治疗与药物滥用治疗至关重要。这种共病情况通常预后不佳。这两种疾病都需要适当的治疗，以便使这些个体实现精神症状缓解和保持清醒的目标。联合治疗方法可改善治疗效果、功能预期和社区适应情况。
