TL;DR: To address the unique needs of this population, rehabilitation practitioners are encouraged to seek specialized training and continuing education through regional training programs and interagency consultation.
Abstract: Individuals who have a dual diagnosis of substance abuse and chronic mental illness pose unique challenges in the delivery of vocational rehabilitation services. Barriers to service provision include an underestimation of prevalence; agency classifications that require a separation of disability conditions into primary and secondary disability; a lack of counselors’ awareness of the unique needs of this population; and the impact of negative attitudes and stigma on vocational success. Although individuals with dual diagnosis can benefit from rehabilitation services and stable employment, changes in the traditional service delivery system are recommended. To address the unique needs of this population, rehabilitation practitioners are encouraged to seek specialized training and continuing education through regional training programs and interagency consultation.
