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 detailed information requested regarding the National Dual Diagnosis Centre, as this is an operational issue , I have referred it to the HSE for direct reply to you.
