Conclusion<br />

There are a variety of treatment<br />

strategies and models ready for<br />

infusion into clinical practice. There is<br />

the need to develop new application<br />

approaches based on the principles<br />

and practices of technology transfer.<br />

Services Integration<br />

Services integration refers to both:<br />

– The process of merging previously separate<br />

clinical services into a seamless and<br />

harmonious framework of practices at the<br />

level of the individual.<br />

– The delivery of integrated treatment for clients<br />

with co-occurring disorders (COD) utilizing<br />

various techniques.<br />

Services Integration<br />

Any process by which mental health and<br />

substance abuse services are appropriately<br />

integrated or combined at either the level of<br />

direct contact with the individual client with<br />

COD or between providers or programs<br />

serving these individuals. Integrated services<br />

can be provided by an individual clinician, a<br />

clinical team that assumes responsibility for<br />

providing integrated services to the client, or<br />

an organized program that provides<br />

appropriately integrated services by all<br />

Integration?<br />

Services Integration may include<br />

team, or COD program development by<br />

a particular treatment program.<br />

Services Integration: Co-<br />

Location<br />

Co-location of mental health and<br />

substance abuse programs or clinicians<br />

may facilitate the provision of integrated<br />

services, but is neither necessary, nor<br />

sufficient for services integration.<br />

Systems Integration<br />

The process by which individual systems<br />

or collaborating systems organize<br />

themselves to implement services<br />

integration to clients and families with<br />

COD as a routine practice that is<br />

supported by system infrastructure and is<br />

a core function of system design.<br />
