Also available in a smaller “Desk Top” version for the office on Amazon- as: “A Clinician’s Guide to Writing Successful Treatment Plans-Desk Top Reference”

Traditional mental health and addiction treatments have not adequately addressed co-occurring disorders due to clinical interventions, programs, and system flaws that have not addressed the individual’s needs. Moreover, there is very strong evidence to support the value and the effectiveness of integrated treatment programs within this population. Additionally, integrated treatment planning should include integrating medications for both addiction and mental illness along with the behavioral therapies and other psychosocial interventions.

It is important to also note that effective Integrated Treatment Plan is not limited; recognizing that full recovery from a dual diagnosis is not a short-term process. Instead, improvement occurs over months and years in conjunction with a consistent Integrated Treatment Plan.

Most effective Integrated Treatment Plan is long term with a community based perspective that includes ongoing rehabilitation activities to help prevent and/or eliminate the possibility of relapses.
