Abstract

Substance abuse and forensic mental health are intricately linked, presenting significant challenges within the criminal justice and healthcare systems. This paper explores the complex interplay between substance use disorders and various mental health conditions, emphasizing how these factors contribute to criminal behavior and recidivism. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, we analyze the prevalence of substance abuse among individuals involved in the forensic system, highlighting the role of socio-economic, psychological, and environmental influences. Furthermore, we discuss the implications for treatment, emphasizing the need for integrated interventions that address both substance use and mental health issues. By understanding this relationship, we aim to provide insights into effective strategies for prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation, ultimately promoting better outcomes for individuals with co-occurring disorders within forensic settings.
