OK-COSIG GOALS
With funding from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (DHHS/SAMHSA) the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS/Department) is developing an integrated system of care for persons with co-occurring disorders in State funded mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities that is accessible to consumers and their families, culturally competent, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Two goals are proposed to guide this vision: 1) to develop, implement, and evaluate a standard protocol for the screening and assessment of persons with co-occurring disorders across mental health and substance abuse treatment settings, and 2) to develop, implement, and evaluate an integrated treatment model that conforms to the best standards of care for persons with co-occurring disorders. The project will develop the infrastructure necessary to realize the vision by capitalizing on the strengths of the existing system, including training, information technology, the leadership of the Single State Agency (ODMHSAS), and the active involvement of consumers and their advocates. Barriers to integration will also be addressed, including the frontier status of the State, the absence of a standardized screening and assessment protocol across mental health and substance abuse treatment providers, the fragmented system of care, and problems in adequately funding care for persons with co-occurring disorders.

Mixing Oil and Water: Integrating Mental Health and Addiction services to treat people with a co-occurring disorder
The paper titled, Mixing oil and water: Integrating Mental Health and Addiction services to treat people with a co-occurring disorder, published in the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction suggests that integrated treatment for people with the co-occurring disorders of mental illness and substance use (abuse or dependence) is a fallacy. The authors of these integrated models presume that the numerous treatment interventions from both treatment traditions are compatible. This is a critical assumption. What if the two are not compatible? Rather than integrate the two systems of mental health and addiction treatment in whole, I argue in this paper that a model is needed that selects the best interventions from each field and discard the rest.
