Course Description
Most people with alcohol and other drug (AOD) use disorders suffer from co-occurring disorders (CODs), including mental health and medical problems, which complicate treatment and may contribute to poorer outcomes. This course addresses existing models for treating CODs at the treatment and the systems levels. Barriers that impede further integration of care for patients with CODs are addressed. The development of co-morbid anxiety and alcohol use disorders is explored, as well as evidence regarding treatment approaches for these common CODs.
