Abstract:
This article describes an integrated treatment program for individuals with concurrent mental health and substance use disorders. Principles of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), originally developed by Linehan (l993a ; 1993b) for chronically suicidal individuals with borderline personality disorder, provided the framework for the organization of a program of specialized treatment services in the following areas ; substance use and borderline personality disorder, substance use and anger, and substance use and eating disorders. An overview of DBT and the rationale for founding a concurrent disorder program upon this approach is discussed. A description of our treatment protocols for the three subgroups of concurrent disordered patients is provided with attention to the similarities and differences from the standard DBT protocol. The principal elements of the program are highlighted.
