Title	Implementing Effective Interventions for the Treatment of Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders"
Description	Individuals with co-occurring disorders are associated with poor outcomes and high costs throughout the service system yet have been traditionally defined as misfits rather than priorities within all systems of care. Recently, SAMHSA has begun to make system strategies to address the needs of these individuals a priority, and has funded COSIG grants in fifteen states to create system change to support integrated treatment. This presentation reviews examples of systems difficulties faced by individuals with co-occurring psychiatric and substance disorders in public and private settings, and identifies research based principles of successful treatment intervention for these individuals in the context of a parallel disease and recovery integrated conceptual framework that uses a common language that makes sense from the perspective of both the addiction field and the mental health field. The presentation then illustrates the application of these principles to the design of a strategy for the resolution of these systems difficulties through the development of a comprehensive, continuous, integrated system of care (CCISC) for psychiatric and substance disorders that maximizes use of all existing resources to initiate integrated treatment, and develops expectations that all programs achieve Dual Diagnosis Capability to provide properly matched services within existing resources to the individuals with COD that they already are serving. This model is recognized by SAMHSA as a best practice, and is being utilized in thirteen of the fifteen COSIG states. The workshop discussion then illustrates a systematic process for implementing this model, building on work in twenty five states and two Canadian provinces, utilizing simultaneous interventions at the system, program, clinical practice, and clinician levels, and reports on progress of various system changing initiatives from different parts of the US and Canada. The first part of the workshop emphasizes system and program level strategies; the second part of the workshop discusses clinical practice guidelines for assessment and treatment matching and the process of implementation of those guidelines.
