Many of the clients I am referred for assessment in the MH clinic have current or recent substance use. I have been taught that to make a diagnostic assessment, patients need to be substance free for at least thirty days. Yet to provide services, a MH diagnosis is necessary. What should I do?
My MH agency offers a dual diagnosis group, but most of my clients won’t go. How can I help them with their co-occurring substance use if they won’t attend group? Isn’t group treatment the treatment of choice for people with a substance use disorder (SUD)?
How do I help someone who can’t seem to stop using? I’ve been working with a client with SMI and SUD for 3 years. When I met him, he had very severe substance use, but over the years I’ve helped him get into various types of SUD treatment and he has had some periods of sobriety. He keeps telling me he wants to be sober, and he does okay for a while and then he slips. He seems to be a chronic relapser, and I don’t know how to help him.
How do I help clients with psychotic illnesses who report that marijuana (or other substance) is “helpful” or “relaxing”? My client with schizophrenia smokes marijuana whenever he can get it. He says it “relaxes him.” I’m convinced it’s contributing to his continuing psychotic symptoms, and to the fact that his medication doesn’t seem to be effective. He agrees that “many people think marijuana is bad,” but he states: “I’m going to hear voices anyway, and the marijuana helps me to deal with them.” He seems to be in pre-contemplation, and I don’t know what to do.
In my clinic, I am referred SMI patients to initiate or continue psychotropic medications. It is common for patients to be referred who are actively using alcohol, marijuana, and sometimes other substances. What should I do?
How many individuals who have serious mental illness also have a substance use disorder?
Are there treatment plans that can address both SMI and any substance use or co-occurring disorders at the same time?
Is it possible to help individuals who have SMI to quit smoking?
