Psychosis With Coexisting Substance Misuse: The NICE Guideline on Assessment and Management in Adults and Young People (National Clinical Guideline No. 120)

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

This book consists of a set of guidelines developed for the purpose of advising on the assessment and management of adults and young people, 14 years and older, who suffer from and/or manifest symptoms related to psychosis and coexisting substance misuse.

The guidelines and recommendations were produced and elaborated upon by a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals, as well as a service user organization and a career guideline methodologist, after careful consideration of the best available evidence. Hopefully, the guidelines will be useful for clinicians and service commissioners in planning and providing high-quality care models of intervention for people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse, as well as for relatives and significant others of these individuals.
