Abstract:
The intricate relationship between substance-induced psychotic disorders and primary disorders of the psychosis spectrum requires practitioners to meticulously evaluate patient history, substance use patterns, and clinical symptomatology. Also, the dual diagnosis of SUDs and psychotic disorders exacerbates treatment challenges, often leading to the need to coordinate differing treatment modalities and fragmented care. A nuanced understanding of the interplay between SUDs and the psychosis spectrum is crucial for effective assessment and comprehensive management strategies. In this review, the unique challenges presented by this complex clinical population are examined, and management strategies are explored.
