The high prevalence of alcohol and drug misuse in those with psychiatric illness is apparent to all who work within adult psychiatry. Street drugs can trigger the onset of psychosis. Traditionally, mental health and addiction services have operated in parallel. Differences between the two services in terms of organisation, geographical location and philosophy of care have often meant that patients have fallen between the two, leading to frustration for patients, families and staff. The past 10 years have seen increased understanding of the reasons for this co morbidity, the development of innovative integrated treatment services and the introduction of new treatments for substance misuse.  This conference explores current thinking in this important area of work.

There is an early bird rate for bookings taken before 31st January. It would be great to meet you there.
