COCE OVERVIEW PAPERS:
Central to the COCE approach is a series of overview papers addressing
key COD topic areas. The overview papers summarize the science base
for each topic they address and make recommendations for practice,
systems, and State and local laws and regulations that support treatment
and prevention systems as appropriate. COCE is pleased to announce
that three overview papers are now available in print and PDF format
and two additional overview papers are available in PDF format (clearance
for printing is pending) from the COCE Web site http://www.coce.samhsa.gov/cod_resources/index_right_2.aspx?obj=77.
Please feel free to check the COCE Web site for more information
on these papers and watch for announcements on the availability
of additional papers in the near future.
No. 1 - Definitions and Terms Relating to Co-Occurring Disorders
- Available now in PDF and printed copies
It is essential to use a common language to develop consensus on
how to address the needs of persons with co-occurring disorders.
This paper provides definitions of terms associated with substance-related
disorders, mental disorders, co-occurring disorders, and programs.
No. 2 - Screening, Assessment, and Treatment Planning for Persons
with Co-Occurring Disorders - Available now in PDF and printed copies
Clients with co-occurring disorders (COD) are best served through
an integrated screening, assessment, and treatment planning process
that addresses both substance use and mental disorders, each in
the context of the other. This paper discusses the purpose, appropriate
staffing, protocols, methods, advantages and disadvantages, and
processes for integrated screening,
No. 3 - Overarching Principles To Address the Needs of Persons
With Co-Occurring Disorders - Available now in PDF and printed copies.
Principles, by their nature, are consistent with a concern for the
well-being of the client and his or her loved ones. This overview
paper outlines 12 overarching principles for working with persons
with co-occurring disorders. These principles are intended to help
guide, but not define, systemic and clinical responses.
No. 5 - Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders in Non-Traditional Service
Settings - Available now in PDF only
Settings outside the substance abuse and mental health system,
or settings where service missions do not include a primary focus
on COD but where persons with COD are likely to be seen, are the
focus of this overview paper. These include primary health, public
safety and criminal justice, and social service settings. These
settings should be prepared to identify and effectively respond
to persons with COD.
No. 6 - Understanding Evidence-Based Practices for Co-Occurring
Disorders - Available now in PDF only
The advantages of employing evidence-based practices are now widely
acknowledged across the medical, substance abuse, and mental health
fields. This paper discusses evidence-based practices and their
use in treating persons with co-occurring disorders, discusses how
evidence is used to determine if a given practice should be labeled
as evidence based, and gives some brief examples.
