Co-occurrence of depression and a substance use disorder (SUD) in
patients who present dual diagnoses has been long recognized as an
important consideration in clinical practice. This review synthesizes
the evidence of pharmacological and psychosocial interventions for
comorbid depressive disorders and SUDs while providing clinical
recommendations about the best interventions to address these
patients. The best evidence from randomized controlled trials was
used to evaluate treatment options. The strength of recommendations
was described using the GRADE approach. Our results suggest
that 1) In patients with depression and alcohol consumption, the
administration of non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants instead of SSRI is recommended for improvement
of depressive symptoms (strong recommendation). Neither SSRI
(strong recommendation) nor non-SSRI (weak recommendation)
antidepressants are recommended for reduction in alcohol
consumption. 2) In patients with depression and cannabis use, the
use of venlafaxine is not recommended (weak recommendation).
3) In patients with depression and cocaine consumption, the use
of SSRI antidepressants for improving depressive symptoms (weak
recommendation) or to reduce cocaine use is not recommended
(strong recommendation). The use of non-SSRI antidepressants
is only recommended for improving depressive symptoms (strong
recommendation). 4) The administration of bupropion to reduce
nicotine consumption is not recommended (strong recommendation).
5) Regarding psychological treatment, in patients with depression and
co-occurring alcohol disorder, both pharmacotherapy and cognitive
behavioural therapy have positive effects on internalizing symptoms
and in reducing alcohol consumption (weak recommendation). Our
review suggests the need for more research in this area and for larger,
multisite, randomized studies to provide more definite evidence
