Our findings support the theory that psychosis due to substance abuse is commonly observed in clinical practice. The propensity to develop psychosis seems to be a function of the severity of use and addiction.

There remains a striking paucity of information on the outcomes, treatments, and best practices of substance-induced psychotic episodes.
