The influence of psychopharmacological treatment in the long-term outcome in patients suffering ADH with comorbid drug use
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2020
Abstract
ADH is one of mental disease with a higher prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse. ADH is a risk factor for drug use, and that's true in the reverse sense. The mutual influence in both disorders is clear and the presence of both disorders together could be a real challenge for a clincial professional.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of the psychopharmacological treatment in the longterm outcome of this sample, using a measurement drug use, adherence to the treatment and impulsivity.
We make a study that includes a group of patients with both disorders. We select a sample from the Centro de Día Zuría. The patients complete a battery of scales (SCL-90, BArratt, SF-36) before and after the beginning of psychopharmacological treatment.
Our results shows a better prognosis in the patients with a good adherence to treatment, with a decrease in frequency and levels of drug use and a decrease in impulsivity, with a low level of behavioral disorders and violence.
