Dual diagnosis means a person experiences both a substance abuse problem and a mental health issue such as depression or an anxiety disorder.

Treatment options must address both issues, and as such the HSE have developed a Model of Care which recommends the development of 12 Adult Specialist Dual Diagnosis Teams nationally, 4 Adolescent Hub Teams, and a National Dual Diagnosis Rehabilitation Centre. To date investment of over €3 million has resulted in 2 Adult teams and 2 Adolescent teams being operational, with 2 further teams and additional posts funded for 2025.

With reference to the future cost of rolling out the programme, as this is an operational issue it has been forwarded to the HSE for direct reply.
