Studies show that between 30% and 50% of people with a diagnosis of a serious mental health problems also report using street drugs on a regular basis. People who have a dual diagnosis report how they are pushed from pillar to post - from one service to another, with each service offering little or no help or simply passing the client on to another service. The result is that people with complex needs often fall out of services completely. Highlighted in the UK's Department of Health Guidance on good practices for dual diagnosis, and features people with a dual diagnosis, as well as a range of experts who describe the difficulties faced both by services and service users, Pillar to Post shows how by working flexibly and with the service user's agenda, progress can be made with people who once felt they had been written off by services.
