Concurrent Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders: An Information Guide

The Client and Family Information Guide series originated in the Social Work Department of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, one of the four organizations that merged in 1998 to form the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). Since then, these guides have become an important part of the CAMH publishing program.

Concurrent disorders is a relatively new field. To learn about it, we draw on the wisdom of people from a wide variety of mental health and substance use backgrounds. We thank the author teams who produced the other guides in this series:
