Co-Occurring Mental Health & SUD Treatment

Co-Occurring Mental Health & Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment

This event is designed to deepen your understanding of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. We’ll explore how these conditions often show up together, what makes them complex to identify and treat, and why integrated approaches are so important. You’ll learn about different care models, key clinical considerations, and strategies you can apply in your own work, whether you’re in direct care, supervision, or systems coordination. Throughout the training, we’ll share real-world examples, tools, and regional resources to help you feel more confident and informed in supporting individuals with co-occurring needs.
