The Content of the Screening will
Vary Upon the Setting
Substance abuse screening in mental health
settings should:
Screen for substance use, substance
related problems, and substance-related
disorders (this report presents
recommended instruments for this purpose)
Screen for acute safety risk related to
serious intoxication or withdrawal (this
report recommends the inclusion of this in
the screening process)
Adapted from Substance Abuse Treatment for Persons With Co-Occurring Disorders, TIP #42 (2005b)
The Content of the Screening will
Vary Upon the Setting continued
COCE Recommendations for a Selection Process
Mental Health Screening has three major components in substance abuse
treatment settings:
Screen for mental health symptoms and mental disorders
(this report presents recommended instruments for this
purpose)
Screen for acute safety risk: suicide, violence, inability to
care for oneself, HIV and hepatitis C virus risky behaviors,
and danger of physical or sexual victimization (this report
recommends the inclusion of this in the screening process)
Regardless of the setting, all clients should be screened for
past and present victimization and trauma (this report
recommends the inclusion of this in the screening process)
Adapted from Substance Abuse Treatment for Persons With Co-Occurring Disorders, TIP #42 (2005b)
1. Screening Instruments in the Matrix review are all acceptable.
2. Decide if you want a screening instrument for substance use disorder, a
screening instrument for mental disorders or both.
3. If the latter, either use a combination of SA and MH screening
instruments (for example, MINI Screen Modified/DALI) or use the GAIN.
4. COCE recognizes that the use of other instruments may be desirable in
a particular circumstance and that there are other viable options
available.
5. Consider customizing your instrument with additional items selected
from the comprehensive list of instruments.
6. Involve stakeholders and users in the instruments selection process.
7. Begin parallel development of coordinated assessment instruments,
placement determination, treatment planning and treatment resources.
