Advancing the Concepts of Stages of Change and Treatment for Individuals with Co-occurring Disorders

Change is much easier said than done and is impacted in every contact that professionals and supports have with people faced with making health behavior change. As a follow-up to training on conducting integrated assessment for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders on August 9, it is important to assess the impact of the person’s readiness. The differences between stage of change and stage of treatment will be highlighted and the importance of understanding factors that enhance or reduce motivation will be discussed as they relate to development of care and treatment plans. Clinicians are well aware that a comprehensive assessment provides the foundation for treatment planning and interventions. Undertaking an integrated assessment of mental health symptoms and substance use typically adds complexity and challenges. This presentation will focus on the tools and strategies that can shape an assessment that goes beyond simply rehashing or gathering history.
