Co-Occurring Disorders

SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) of the US Department of Health and Human Services has identified treatment for persons with co-occurring disorders (mental disorders and substance abuse) as a primary treatment and training need.  The Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency has taken up this initiatve and incorporated it in transforming its systems of care.  Integrated Dual-Disorder Treatment (IDDT) and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment (COD) have been established as evidence-based best practices that result in higher quality outcomes for consumers of mental health and substance abuse services.

A diagnosis of co-occurring disorders occurs when at least one disorder of each type can be established independent of the other and is not simply a cluster of symptoms resulting from the one disorder.  D-WCCMHA has collaborated with Ken Minkoff, MD, and Christie A. Cline, MD, MBA, since 2005 to provide theoretical foundations and practical applications of COD/IDDT training.  Attendees at these events subsequently teach therapists at their agencies to respond to client needs and broaden the skill base.

Systems Transformation Learning Series

The Systems Transformation Learning Series was developed in response to requests from providers, clinicians and change agents involved in the Systems Transformation Initiative for Consumers with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Use Disorders. This series uses exemplary speakers and relevant topics to engage the training participants in diverse aspects of Co-Occurring, or Dual, Diagnosis among Consumers. Systems Transformation Learning Series enhances the core knowledge and understanding of Co-Occurring Disorders and gives the tools needed to build a better foundation between Consumer and Care Provider.
