Substance abuse and psychological issues often co-exist and are seen a lot inside
prisons and linked with reoffending. Australia has had a rising prison population and the
study investigates the needs of this susceptible population of dual-diagnosed individuals.
Baseline interviews were used on 317 men who had prior history before incarceration of
injecting drugs. 139 were categorized as having poor psychiatric health. A lot of different
factors were asked about and the study concluded that at risk population needs a
multidisciplinary treatment approach. There needs to be more screenings and triage
available to people in prison who have a mental health disorder or a possible co-occurring
disorder in order to give better treatment and reduce the reoffending risk.
