Synopsis: Estimates suggest that up to 10 million people in this country have a combination of at least one co-occurring mental health and substance-related disorder in any given year. Individuals suffering from multiple disorders are a varied group with multiple medical and social problems and are at increased risk for incarceration and homelessness. This training will take a “wide lens” view of the issue, examining both the historical barriers for effective treatment and community management while highlighting state-of-the art research which is suggestive of more effective interventions.

Objectives: Participants will be able to
o Identify the most common mental health disorders associated with
co-occurring disorders
o Define key terms and classification systems used in the treatment field
o Explain specific research-supported techniques for treating clients with
co-occurring disorders
o Define the guidelines for the development of a successful therapeutic
relationship with individuals who have co-occurring disorders
o List service delivery issues that include client access, assessment,
treatment, and comprehensive services
o Discuss the concept of a Therapeutic Jurisprudence approach with
individuals involved with the criminal justice system
o Identify key principles about recovery self-help programs and other available
resources
