This editorial summarizes the main recommendations of the NICE guideline on psychosis and coexisting substance misuse. It outlines the dearth of specific evidence (especially for integrated models), but emphasizes implementation of evidence for the treatment of psychosis and substance misuse separately for current best practice and policy. It highlights research options and training needs to further enhance effective treatment.
