Course Description
Clinicians are increasingly called upon to see clients who present with co-occurring disorders (COD). This course consists of three parts: (1) an overview of the basic screening and assessment approach that should be a part of any program for clients with COD; (2) an outline of the twelve steps to an ideal assessment, including some instruments that can be used in assessing COD and re-assessing over the course of treatment; and (3) a discussion of key considerations in treatment matching.
Note: In the section entitled \"Assessment Step 6: Determine Quadrant and Locus of Responsibility\" there is a typo. For Quadrant II the table should read: More severe mental disorder/Less severe substance disorder.
Learning Objectives
After completing this training the professional will:
- Describe a basic screening and assessment approach that should be a part of any program for clients with COD.
- Describe a model for an optimal process of evaluation for clients with COD.
- Identify key considerations in treatment matching.
