The co-occurrence of psychiatric and substance use diagnoses in adolescents in different service systems: Frequency, recognition, cost, and outcomes

Abstract: The frequency, severity, recognition, cost, and outcomes of adolescent substance use comorbidity were analyzed in the Fort Bragg Demonstration Project. Comorbidity was defined as the co-occurrence of substance use disorder (SUD) with other psychiatric diagnosis. The sample consisted of 428 adolescent clients whose providers' diagnoses were compared with research diagnoses. The project identified 59 clients (13.8%) with SUD, all with additional psychiatric diagnoses. Providers recognized only 21 of these 59 com… Show more

“…ASU is vastly underidentified in these sectors, associated with a litany of co-occurring health problems, and predictive of high failure=recidivism rates, all resulting in enormous costs to families, communities, and government (King, Gaines, Lambert, Summerfelt, & Bickman, 2000). Even when ASU problems are identified, program staff and institutions within these sectors are often poorly equipped-lacking in training, procedures, and available resources-to properly manage them.…”

“…The consequences of these disorders (King et al, 2000;Gore et al, 2011;Mojtabai, 2011;Whiteford et al, 2013), particularly when co-occurring, are increasingly recognised as a major public health issue and their global health and economic burden is high. Mental health and alcohol disorders contribute to 183.9 million Disability Adjusted Life Years annually, peaking in young adults (Whiteford et al, 2013), and treatment of comorbid mental health and alcohol disorders is both more complex (Tiet and Mausbach, 2007;Connolly et al, 2011) and more costly than single disorders (King et al, 2000), with worse projected outcomes (Bruce et al, 2005). As such, understanding how these joint conditions emerge is of great interest to researchers, policy makers and health professionals (Rush and Koegl, 2008;Swendsen et al, 2009;Cerda et al, 2010;Green et al, 2012).…”

“…This comorbidity entailed additional costs of $437 per child ($812 versus $375) for total health care services in comparison to the children with ADHD but no comorbidity. This effect of comorbidity on costs is common throughout the literature (10) and may denote the need for differential treatments to reduce expenses and reach better treatment outcomes. Although these studies illuminate the burden of illness associated with ADHD, no studies, to our knowledge, have addressed the cost and cost-effectiveness of specific treatments for ADHD in the United States.…”
