Description
Description: Adults with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders have far worse outcomes in employment, hospitalization, housing, and criminal justice involvement than their single disordered peers. This co-prevalence has been studied since the 1980s, yet despite this, most service systems were organized to treat individuals with a single disorder, excluding those with co-occurring disorders, or providing sequential or parallel treatments that were incompatible or in conflict with each other. Integrated and team-based services offer superior outcomes to parallel or sequential treatments, and call providers to develop interventions to assist individuals in moving toward recovery for both illnesses simultaneously. Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) was designed following systematic study of high intensity co-occurring disorder (COD) treatment needs and alterations of the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model. Within this training, attendees will understand the components of IDDT, including fidelity and outcome measurement. Specific attention will be paid to the core components of IDDT and of stage-matched assessment, treatment planning, and treatment interventions for adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders using the IDDT model.
Who Should Attend: This event is sponsored by the adult mental health block grant and is intended for persons who serve adults only struggling with severe mental illness and/or COD receiving services that are community-based/outpatient setting (does not include SUD providers, inpatient, or residential treatment) that is funded by a CMHSP or is a contractor of a CMHSP in the state of Michigan. It contains content appropriate for CEOs, COOs, clinical directors, supervisors, case managers, support coordinators, therapists, crisis workers, peer support specialists, nurses, advocates, and recovery coaches. Preference is given to individuals currently on IDDT and/or ACT/IDDT teams and those in process of joining an IDDT and/or ACT/IDDT teams.
