Substance misuse that is comorbid with mental disorder may increase the risk of crime, and militate against effective treatment. It is therefore important that forensic mental health professionals understand the assessment and treatment of both substance misuse and mental disorder. Since mentally disordered offenders may be detained under classifications of personality (psychopathic) disorder, mental illness, and learning disability (mental impairment / severe mental impairment), all three disorders are addressed, and this paper is structured accordingly. Substance misuse includes intoxication, problematic use, and dependence, all of which are relevant to criminal behaviour, and the focus is on crimes related to the ingestion of substances.

The treatment of "dual diagnosis", co-occurring substance abuse and mental illness, calls for addressing two serious and often confounding problems. The authors introduce an expanded version of the transtheoretical model of change as formulated by J.O.Prochaska and C.C. DiClemente, and suggest that this new version offers a pragmatic approach to the conceptualisation and treatment of dual diagnosis. The potential utility of the treatment model is presented through the authors' experiences in working with inner-city, chronic mentally ill individuals with substance abuse problems.
