- Description
- Large epidemiological studies in the last two decades have shown that many people in the community experience mental health and substance use problems in their lifetime and, and they commonly co-occur. Although co-existing mental health and substance use problems are very common, psychological treatments for these problems have traditionally been delivered separately in different services. Consequently, many people with co-existing disorders do not receive adequate treatment, resulting in worse treatment outcomes, including increased rates of relapse, medication use and health care costs. In the longer term, mental health problems (e.g., depression) and substance use problems (e.g., smoking) are themselves associated with increased rates of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and cancer. There is a life expectancy gap of around 20 years between people living with mental health and substance use problems versus those not experiencing such problems. The first National Mental Health Report Card in Australia in 2012 called the physical health status of people living with a mental health condition a ‘national disgrace’. The report called upon researchers and clinicians to better address the physical health of people with mental health and substance use problems. Despite burgeoning research linking these comorbidities, treatment services remain siloed into separate delivery systems for mental ill health, substance misuse and physical ill health, and for young people versus adults.
