Primary Outcome Measures:
- AMEN Questionnarie [ Time Frame: Following patients during 3 months after Brain noninvasive estimulation ]100 Items Questionnarie subdivided in 5 subscales: basal ganglia, cingulate cortez, temporal cortex, prefrontal cortex and limbic system
- Emotional Visual Event Related Potentials [ Time Frame: Following patients during 3 months after Brain noninvasive estimulation ]Emotional Visual Event Related Potentials responses (time courses and topographies) and ICA components related with them, identified by Mitsar 201M EEG Amplifier using EEGLab software [ Time Frame: brainwaves patterns following an array of visual stimuli (human faces) during a 22 min. examination ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- CAGE Adapted to Include Drugs (CAGE-AID) [ Time Frame: Following 3 months after tRNS brain stimulation ]The CAGE-AID is a sensitive screen for alcohol and drug problems.

Experimental: tRNS over Anterior Cingulate
Dual Pathology (Substance Use Disorder plus another psychiatric trait) 75 patients with diagnosed SUDs plus another psychiatric disorder will be receive tRNS in the disease-specific Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), be studied blindly to evaluate the craving reduction after 35 tRNS sessions.

Device: Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation
Random Noise Stimulation between 100 and 500 Hz and 400-500 microAmperes are applied over head in particular areas

Experimental: tRNS applied over DLPFC
Dual Pathology (Substance Use Disorder plus another psychiatric trait) 75 patients with diagnosed SUDs plus another psychiatric disorder will be receive tRNS in the dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex (DLPFC), be studied blindly to evaluate the craving reduction after 35 tRNS sessions.

Detailed Description:
Background: There is an intimate relationship between addictive behaviors and other mental disorders, proven by clinical practice and many epidemiological studies, genetic and neuroscience. This gives risk to the diagnosis of Dual Pathology: an addiction and another mental disorder.
Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that anterior cingulate cortex is associated with substance´s dependence and craving. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) stimulates parts of the brain and can change it´s activity.
Researchers are interested in reduce cravings for substance dependence on patients with Dual Pathology using tRNS in anterior cingulate cortex.
Aims: To determine whether tRNS in anterior cingulate cortex can reduce craving over Dual Pathology patients.
