1.5 hours Focus: Systems Integration
Description:
In 2001, the Commonwealth of PA awarded five grants for pilot projects. One of the goals was to develop
integrated systems of care for identifying, treating and supporting persons with CODs. The five projects
review the models they developed and present their results. The challenges of developing an integrated
system of care for COD services are also discussed.
Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:
• Identify key services necessary for developing an integrated system of care for individuals diagnosed
with a co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorder;
• Discuss the challenges of developing integrated COD services;
• Examine the model developed by each county;
• Review the results of each project.
