Overview
This course teaches healthcare workers in acute care settings how to provide integrated treatment for patients with co-occurring disorders.Goals and Learning Outcomes
People often experience more than one health condition at the same time, such as a mental illness alongside a physical illness or substance use disorder. These people often face barriers to treatment and poor outcomes. Historically, providers often required a patient to be actively treated for their substance use disorder before treating their mental illness. That perspective has changed so that a person with a co-occurring disorder can access care for both disorders simultaneously. This is called integrated treatment. Integrated treatment is the gold standard for treating people with co-occurring disorders. Integrated treatment can help individuals access care, reduce suffering, and renew hope.
- Explain the nature, presentation, and risk factors for co-occurring conditions across healthcare settings.
- Identify screening and assessment strategies for co-occurring conditions and disorders.
- Discuss the importance of integrated treatment and a recovery focus for individuals with co-occurring disorders.
- Describe the significance of and strategies for integrated treatment of co-occurring disorders.
