Homelessness and dual diagnosis.

Abstract: People who are dually diagnosed with severe mental illness and substance use disorders constitute 10%-20% of homeless persons. They are a heterogeneous and extremely vulnerable subgroup with complex, poorly understood needs. In this article recent research on the epidemiology, subject characteristics, and service needs of the dually diagnosed homeless population is reviewed. Also, the range of evolving approaches to providing social services, housing, and mental health and substance-abuse treatments; the relev… Show more

“…Psychopathology and substance use are inherent to dual diagnosis. Moreover, homelessness and criminal behavior are common problems in these patients (Drake et al, 1991;Scott, Lewis, & McDermott, 2006). Future research is necessary to expand knowledge on risk factors for victimization in patients with dual diagnosis.…”

“…The prevalence of co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders is 3.3% in the general U.S. population (SAMSHA, 2015). These patients with dual diagnosis have more severe and persistent symptoms (Kessler, 2004), are more often homeless (Drake, Osher, & Wallach, 1991) and experience treatment resistance (Kessler, 2004;Hunt, Siegfried, Morley, Sitharthan & Cleary, 2013). Patients with dual diagnosis may be even more prone to victimization than patients with a severe mental illness or substance use disorder only (Sells, Rowe, Fisk, & Davidson, 2003;Havassy & Mericle, 2013).…”

“…Or, les personnes itinérantes ayant des troubles concomitants de santé mentale et de toxicomanie représentent un groupe particulièrement vulnérable et ayant des besoins de services complexes (Drake, 1991(Drake, , 1996Folsom et coll., 2005 ;Kertesz et coll., 2005). En effet, comparativement à d'autres itinérants, ceux avec des troubles concomitants vivent plus dans la rue que dans des refuges, souffrent plus fréquemment de détresse…”

“…De plus, les familles d'itinérants semblent éprouver beaucoup de difficultés à accepter l'intervention de tiers (famille élargie, amis, intervenants) auprès de leurs membres, ce qui soulève un autre niveau de déracinement entre la famille de l'itinérant et le soutien social ambiant (Drake et al, 1991). Même quand la famille a été relativement stable, elle ne semble donc pas, pour la majorité des itinérants, avoir constitué un foyer (« a home ») accueillant et sécurisant, un lieu de soutien et d'intégration au social.…”
