Final Deliverable

We presented a comprehensive literature review to Parkwood Institute. We outlined the current inadequacies in treatment across the continuum of care for Dual Diagnosis patients and in additional to a review of the literature, we made recommendations to make impactful improvements and improve care for Dual Diagnosis patients.

Overall, we found that there is a significant burden placed on inpatient services and that we recommend outpatient services be improved to relieve this burden. Additionally, a lack of specialized staff training throughout care sectors and outdated practices are significant issues that must be resolved for care to be adequately improved. These recommendations and others can be viewed in the document below:
