Integrated Systems
A model for bringing the mental health and substance abuse treatment
systems (and other systems, potentially) into an integrated planning
process.
The entire system is organized in ways consistent with the assumption
that COD is highly prevalent and requires specialized interventions.
This includes system-level policies and financing, the design of all
programs, clinical practices throughout the system, and basic clinical
competencies for all clinicians.
For example, Comprehensive Continuous Integrated System of Care
(Minkoff, 2001); and various Co-Occurring State Incentive Grants
(COSIG) and other State Initiatives.

Principles That Guide Systems
Of Care For People With COD
Principles that Guide
Systems of Care for
People with COD
Co-Occurring Disorders (COD) are to be expected.
COD are to be expected in all behavioral health
settings and system planning must address this in
all policies, regulation, and programming.

Principles That Guide Systems Of Care For People
With COD Continued
Develop Improved Systems of Care and
Move toward Integrated Systems. A fully
integrated system of mental health and
addiction services that emphasizes
continuity and quality is in the best
interest of consumers, providers,
programs, and systems.

Integrated Treatment
Integrated treatment refers broadly to
any mechanism by which treatment
interventions for COD are combined
within the context of a primary
treatment or service setting.
Integrated treatment is a means of
coordinating substance abuse and
mental health interventions to treat
the whole person more effectively.
