From the supplier: A quality assurance study revealed that poor treatment compliance is mostly common with patients having dual diagnosis of psychiatric and comorbid substance use disorders. The research also observed that the patients' noncompletion of medication results in the clinical deterioration of their psychiatric condition and backsliding to alcohol and drug use. To prevent such situation, telephone or mail reminders should be sent to patients and frequency and intensity of services in the early phase of outpatient care should be increased.
