In the United States, almost half of all people with substance use disorders also meet criteria for a mental health disorder, and vice versa. Understanding how each disorder impacts the other is imperative to providing effective interventions. During this interactive session, participants will learn about common psychiatric disorders, their symptoms, and treatment, and will analyze how they impact and interact with substance use disorders. Through presentations, case examples, and discussions, content will explore best practices in supporting people living with co-occurring conditions to promote long term recovery and wellness.
Learning Objectives:
– Identify common mental health disorders, their symptoms, and treatment
– Review common risk factors for developing a cooccurring disorder
– Describe how mental health and substance use disorders can impact each other
– Define the integrated model of treatment and why it is effective
– Identify ways substance use treatment professionals can support persons with co-occurring disorders
– Explore SAMHSA’s four dimensions of the recovery process and how it creates a holistic treatment plan so that persons with co-occurring disorders can thrive in their communities of choice
