The use of psychoactive substances is a common and ubiquitous behavior globally with considerable burden, mortality and morbidity. There is considerable degree of psycho-social, psychiatric and medical problems associated with the abuse of psychoactive substances. Few studies have examined the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms among patients with substance use disorders. Aims and Objectives: This study examined the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and the concurrence of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) psychiatric domain with Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). Methodology: a sample of 142 participants was selected purposively and administered the ASI and the BPRS after informed consent procedures. Results: The mean age of participants was 31 years (SD =8) and males were predominant (96.5%). The two most commonly used substances were Opioids (other than heroine) and Cannabis in 60.6% and 55.6% respectively. Twenty six (18.3%) patients reported depressive symptoms. Anxiety symptoms, Poor concentration, and suicidal thoughts were reported, respectively, by 30(21.1%), 17(12.0%), and 15(10.6%) patients. There was a strong positive correlation (r=0.862, p< .001) between the ASI psychiatric domain and the BPRS. Conclusion: participants had some symptoms of psychiatric disorders and there was a strong positive correlation between the ASI psychiatric domain and the BPRS.
