People with a dual diagnosis of both mental health and substance misuse problems are currently considered to be one of greatest challenges to services. The DVD features people with a dual diagnosis and a range of experts who describe the difficulties faced both by services and service users. The film shows that many service users are self-medicating with street drugs because they find such substances more helpful and less damaging than prescribed psychiatric medication. The film argues that the problem is not necessarily due to service users with multiple needs but with services whose approach can be the cause of many more problems for service users.
