This presentation describes current knowledge about the treatment of patients with the dual diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and substance misuse, a population that is typically considered “difficult to treat”. We will cover background on PTSD and substance misuse (including rates, the typical client, models and stages of treatment, and clinical dilemmas). Clinical interventions will also be addressed, with a focus on "Seeking Safety", an evidence-based model for PTSD and substance misuse.
