Dear colleague,
We are pleased to share with you
this paper exploring the social
context, prevalence and treatment of problems related to dual diagnosis in the
countries of Eastern Europe, drawing on an extensive literature search as
well as the authors’ wide personal experience of working with mental
health reformers in policy, education and service delivery in most countries in
the region.
It describes the region’s
historical and societal background, and sets out basic epidemiological
information, including the rate and impact of mental illness and alcohol and
substance abuse. It reviews what services are available for people with dual
and triple diagnosis; outlines the barriers to progress; and makes
recommendations for improvements.
