This workshop will provide an overview of co-occurring disorders for treatment providers. It will define “co-occurring disorders”, describe useful screening and assessment instruments, and give participants tools to effectively serve people with co-occurring disorders. The reciprocal impacts of substance abuse and mental health symptoms, barriers that interfere with progress and integrated treatment will be discussed. Participants will explore their own values about working with people with co-occurring disorders and build practice skills. In addition, this 6-hour training course explores basic principles associated with the integration of mental health and substance abuse services.
