Abstract The authors of this article describe the critical components of effective programs, which include a comprehensive, long-term, staged approach to recovery; assertive outreach; motivational interventions; provision of help to clients in acquiring skills and supports to manage both illnesses and to pursue functional goals; and cultural sensitivity and competence. Many state mental health systems are implementing dual diagnosis services, but high quality services are rare. The authors provide an overview of the numerous barriers to implementation and describe implementation strategies to overcome the barriers. Current approaches to implementing dual diagnosis programs involve organizational and financing changes at the policy level, clarity of program mission with structural changes to support dual diagnosis services, training and supervision for clinicians, and dissemination of accurate information to consumers and families to support understanding, demand, and advocacy (authors).

Abstract Recent epidemiological research documenting the pervasive co-occurrence of addictive and mental disorders has been concerned primarily with adults. This paper proposes the need for similar studies of adolescents, considers the special problems inherent in the assessment of co-occurrence in this age group, reviews evidence suggesting that the prevalence of co-occurring disorders in adolescents parallels that documented for adults, and delineates future research strategies (authors).

Abstract This study examined the effects of a collaborative intervention targeting juvenile detainees with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse problems. Changes in mental health problems, substance use, and delinquency were assessed. The results indicated significant time effects were found for anxiety and depression and for the frequency of substance use and delinquency. Significant time by cluster interactions were found for mental health problems of obsessive-compulsive behavior and interpersonal sensitivity and for property and drug-related offending. The study concluded that cross-system collaboration among mental health, substance abuse, and juvenile justice systems is a promising approach for treating delinquent youth with co-occurring problem behaviors.

Abstract The purpose of the current study was to examine the co-occurrence of substance abuse and three other psychiatric disorders (conduct disorder, depression, anxiety) in an incarcerated juvenile delinquent sample. Diagnostic interviews were utilized to place participants in one of three groups: no substance abuse; alcohol/marijuana abuse; and polysubstance abuse. Frequency of diagnosis and number of symptoms of three psychiatric disorders were then examined. The results indicated that the diagnosis of conduct disorder increased significantly with the occurrence of substance abuse. Also, the number of symptoms for conduct disorder, anxiety, and depression increased with substance abuse. With polysubstance abuse the probability of having more than one of the other psychiatric diagnoses was above 50%. Potential explanations for the findings, focusing on the developmental trajectory for conduct problems and self-medication for internalizing disorders, are discussed.

Abstract Preliminary data from the baseline study of juvenile detainees show that two-thirds of the youth have one or more alcohol, drug and mental (ADM) disorders. Females have far greater mental health needs and greater risk factors than males. Preliminary data suggest that, nationwide, more than 670,000 youth processed in the juvenile justice system each year would meet diagnostic criteria for one or more ADM disorders that require mental health and/or substance abuse treatment.

Abstract The Prime Time Project is a comprehensive intervention model for youth who are at the extreme end of the juvenile justice continuum due to their history of repeat offending, relatively severe offenses, a high degree of isolation or abandonment from their natural community, and the co-occurrence of mental health disorder. Prime Time was initiated in the fall of 1995 in King County, Washington. The county council awarded a two-year grant, recognizing that effective interventions exist and that linkages and collaboration between agencies and service providers play a role in successful intervention.
