“…Traditionally, adults with mental illnesses who had concomitant drug or alcohol problems were often referred to programs outside of the mental health system. As more focus has been placed on developing treatment options for this population, it has become clear that it is important to provide coordinated treatment for both disorders (see, e.g., Carey, Purnine, Maisto, Carey, & Simons, 2000;Laudet, Magura, Vogel, & Knight, 2000). It is also likely that offenders with the most serious problems may need more intensive treatment than can be afforded even by structured outpatient programs.…”

This study examined the efficacy of a Mental Health Treatment Court (MHTC) with diversion to treatment supported by an assertive community treatment (ACT) model of case management. A total of 235 participants were randomly assigned to either MHTC or treatment as usual (TAU) and assessed over a 2 year period. It was hypothesized that participants in the MHTC would decrease their criminal activity and improve their psychosocial functioning relative to participants receiving TAU. While there were offenders for whom neither treatment was effective, a majority in both groups decreased jail days and improved psychosocial functioning, with MHTC participants demonstrating greater gains in most areas. The impact of implementing the MHTC on community practices, and the value of integrating criminal justice and mental health systems, is discussed.

“…There are fewer studies, for example, of how to treat particular combinations of substance abuse with concomitant psychological and medical disorders (Carey, Purnine, Maisto, Carey, & Simons, 2000). Existing studies may also be addressing the wrong questions from a program's perspective.…”

“…Current studies on COD focus on recovery (Magura et al, 2003), housing (Metraux, Marcus, & Culhane, 2003), and clinicians' perspectives when working with COD individuals (Carey, Purnine, Maisto, Carey, & Simons, 2000). The aim of this article was to articulate the challenges and struggles that persons with COD encounter when managing their medical health issues while at the same time living with a psychiatric illness and substance abuse or dependence.…”
