Conference description
In a cooperative action between the Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, and the Indiana Family and Social Service Administration’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction, we are pleased to present the 2nd National Conference on Dual Diagnosis, June 12 and 13, 2008, at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Substance use comorbidity in mental illness is a problem of tremendous depth and scope involving most of the commonly used addictive drugs (such as alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, cocaine, and methamphetamine), and most major mental illnesses. It is found in up to 50% of mentally ill or drug addicted populations, crosses the socio-economic spectrum, and is a major public health problem in Indiana, the United States, and Europe. Nicotine addiction, although legal, remains the most common and deadly form of addiction both for mentally healthy and mentally ill populations alike. However, the prevalence of nicotine addiction in mentally ill populations greatly exceeds that in healthy populations, resulting in a hyper-concentration of medical morbidity and mortality due to smoking in the mentally ill.
Systems of mental health care delivery, training, and research remain largely un-integrated with regard to treating nicotine, other addictions, and mental illnesses in the same person. This meeting will bring together a multi-disciplinary array of nationally recognized basic, clinical, and social scientists toward addressing the highly integrative topic of nicotine addiction in dual diagnosis. Featuring experts from across the nation, we will provide an intensive and comprehensive examination of the serious public health problem of co-occurring nicotine addiction and mental illness. Lectures are followed by open forum discussions involving panel experts and audience participation. Discussion and debate is encouraged.
Indiana Family and Social Services Administration Division of Mental Health and Addiction
The Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) is one of five care divisions in the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) which was established in 1992 to consolidate and better integrate the delivery of human services by State government. DMHA's mission is to ensure that Indiana citizens have access to appropriate mental health and addiction services promoting individual self-sufficiency. DMHA operates six state hospitals and provides funding support for mental health and addiction services to target populations with financial need through a network of Community Mental Health Center and addiction providers.
Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, Institute of Psychiatric Research
The Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, houses the Institute of Psychiatric Research (IPR). The Institute has been investigating the relationship between the brain and behavior since 1955, building a nationally renowned psychiatric research program. The Institute’s research contributes directly to the advancement of mental illness treatment, with specific areas of interest including addictive disorders, autism, bipolar disorder, depression, dementia, schizophrenia, and severe anxiety disorders. The Institute has been consistently well-funded by the National Institute of Health and other external agencies, with current departmental research funding of more than $17 million annually.
Continuing Medical Education Information
At the conclusion of this conference, participants should be able to:
• Comprehend and appreciate the translational nature of nicotine addiction in mental illness as a problem of neurobiological origins with psychiatric and societal implications;
• Describe and assess the components of an effective integrated dual diagnosis treatment program incorporating neuroscience, clinical and social science perspectives; recognize the importance of interdisciplinary discourse in leading to more innovative and integrative approaches; and
• Explain how neurobiological and genetic factors contribute to comorbidity of smoking and mental illnesses; describe the etiology, prevalence and medical/psychiatric implications of nicotine dependence and associated psychiatric conditions/ impulse control disorders; summarize the recent advances in pharmacological and psychosocial interventions for patients with serious mental illnesses and nicotine dependence; evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of current social policies (smoking bans, taxation) as relates to addressing the problem of comorbidity of smoking and mental illness.
