Abstract
Dual diagnosis of chemical dependency and schizophrenia is quite common, and is especially prevalent among homeless adults. Standard treatments for these disorders are typically ineffective, but integrative programs of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, assertive community treatment, and housing support have demonstrated clinical efficacy and improved patient outcomes.
