Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The goals of the current study were to determine whether incorporating disability benefit management into combined outpatient psychiatric/addiction treatment was feasible and clinically useful for managing severely mentally ill, substance-abusing patients over time, and then if patients in this program would demonstrate the first week-of the-month increased substance abuse and hospitalisations shown in other studies. Forty-four patients were studied for an average of forty weeks, with little treatment or study dropout There was no evidence in either the schizophrenic/cocaine abuser or the broader diagnostic sample of the cyclic first of the-month pattern of substance use and hospitalizations observed in other studies. Findings suggest that combined treatment/benefit management programs are clinically feasible and effective in stabilizing patients and keeping them in treatment. (Author' s abstract)
