Abstract

This study compares the social networks, perceived levels of social support, and satisfaction with this support, for people with serious mental illnesses and comorbid problematic use of alcohol and other drugs who are at different stages of substance use recovery. Participants in the late stage of recovery were more likely to perceive greater social support from their non substance-using social contacts than participants in the early stage. This social support was more likely to be from professionals than other non-substance-using contacts in their networks. The support from professionals is discussed in relation to engagement in integrated dual diagnosis interventions.
