Abstract:
Patients, clinicians, researchers, and policy makers have long called for greater integration of services for people with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. Decades later, these services remain fragmented in psychiatry across much of the United States. Mounting deaths from drug-related overdoses call for renewed focus on bringing substance use into the center of psychiatric services. This Open Forum explores factors within the field of psychiatry, including insufficient training related to substance use, prevalent stigma surrounding substance use, and limited availability of co-occurring disorder specialists, that reinforce this divide and offers solutions for better addressing substance use disorders in psychiatric care.
