Abstract
In all European countries there are institutions for mental health care and addiction treatment. The way in which they have developed, however, is different in each country. In addition, institutions for mental health care and substance abuse treatment have evolved mostly independently of each other. This hinders an integrated treatment for people with both addiction and other mental disorders. This chapter gives an overview of the health-care systems in Europe in this area. Furthermore, a description of the European institutions that develop policies on this subject and monitor the developments in the various countries will be provided.
