Other themes were: necessity to train the team of professional mental health; necessity to supervision of professional mental health during their job with the patients with dual diagnosis; necessity to do scientific gap to this patients; need to identify early dual diagnosis in drug users; to work with expanded clinical in the treatment of dual diagnosis in drug users; necessity to beware professionals mental health. Limitations: the search strategy did not rescue any intervention article in dual diagnosis. Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of dual diagnosis, the relative paucity of clinical guidance, and the potential impact that occurrence of dual diagnosis can have on the course of treatment. Implications for nursing and health policy: Nurses care directly from these patients need to know the disease for taking better care of their clients. For public policy contributes to the exhortation need for changes in the operation of mental health services, because they realized that there is dichotomy between mental health policy and alcohol and other drugs that do not include the care of a patient with dual diagnosis.
