New Treatment

Traditional treatments for persons with serious mental illness and substance abuse disorders have historically not been fully effective. Because there is a high prevalence of substance abuse among people with mental illness, new treatment approaches have been developed to target this population specifically. Integrated approaches to treatment are considered to be more effective. In the following review of literature, the authors have described traditional treatment approaches and why they have been ineffective in facilitating recovery for individuals with dual diagnosis. Integrated treatment approaches are described and reviewed as to their efficacy in facilitating recovery and their cost-effectiveness. Characteristics of people who benefit most from integrated treatment are also presented. Finally, barriers to recovery for persons with dual diagnosis and implications for Rehabilitation Counselors are also examined.

Mental Illness Treatment

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of good mental health is becoming more and more relevant. Outdoor therapies have been used as treatments for mental health for years, so the researchers investigated if stargazing has the potential to have the same benefits. Rather than surveying people on how often they stargaze, the researchers used light pollution data as a metric for the ability of a region to stargaze. The light pollution data was gathered from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and the mental health data was collected from a survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). All fifty states were stratified based on light pollution and ten were chosen for analysis. From these states, the number of people with mental illness, number of people who received mental illness treatment, and number of attempted suicides were all considered. Linear regression was performed for these three metrics against light pollution. Overall, the correlation coefficient is too low to confidently establish correlation. Further research and different methods are required to determine the existence of a correlation.
