W84: Improving Assessment and Treatment Planning for Persons Having Co-Occurring Disorders<br />

(continued as W94)<br />

David Mee-Lee, MD<br />

3 hours Focus: Clinical Integrated Interventions<br />

Description:<br />

It is difficult to change clinician attitudes and skills to provide truly integrated services. This double workshop<br />

focuses on ways to change assessment and treatment planning processes that help practitioners deliver<br />

individualized, person-centered treatment for all disorders. Sensitivity to the person’s change readiness for<br />

each disorder and continued engagement and motivational enhancement are also discussed.<br />

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:<br />

• examine ideological differences that present barriers to integrating treatment interventions;<br />

• identify unifying principles and strategies for improving integration and outcomes;<br />

• discuss essential assessment data and means to organize it to individualize service planning;<br />

• review ways to create more flexible interventions that better meet the needs of persons with cooccurring<br />

disorders and their families;<br />

• describe how sensitivity to a person’s stage of change readiness can improve both engagement and<br />

practitioner/program strategies and supports.<br />
