A Collaboration Between Researchers and Practitioners to Improve Care for Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders in Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment

چکیده
Clients in substance abuse treatment often have co-occurring mental health disorders; however, substance abuse treatment providers may lack training and resources to provide for the mental health needs of clients. To address the gap in effective service provision for clients with co-occurring disorders in substance abuse treatment programs, a research organization and a substance abuse treatment organization collaborated to conduct a community-based intervention trial. By detailing our collaborative process and lessons learned surrounding the design and evaluation of an intervention to improve care for co-occurring disorders, our intention is to facilitate the collaborative efforts of other researchers and providers.
