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

Ø  Identify the most common mental health disorders associated with co-occurring disorders

Ø  Define key terms and classification systems used in the treatment field

Ø  Explain specific research-supported techniques for treating clients with co-occurring disorders

Ø  Define the guidelines for the development of a successful therapeutic relationship with individuals who have co-occurring disorders

Ø  List service delivery issues that include client access, assessment, treatment, and comprehensive services

Ø  Discuss the concept of a Therapeutic Jurisprudence approach with individuals involved with the criminal justice system

Ø  Identify key principles about recovery self-help programs and other available resources
