Co-Occurring Disorders
Stephanie Rudow, LMSWCo-occuring Disorders: Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT)
Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) is an evidence based program for people who have both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder (co-occurring disorder.) This means the same clinicians or team of clinicians, working in one setting, provide appropriate mental health and substance abuse interventions. In other words, the treatment specialists are trained to treat both disorders concurrently. For the individual with a co-occurring disorder, the services appear seamless, with a consistent approach, philosophy, and set of recommendations. The goal of IDDT is recovery from both serious illnesses. A wide variety of services are offered depending on the person’s stage of recovery. Services are provided in a positive atmosphere and people are encouraged to believe that they can recover as many others have. Ultimately, the goal of Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT) is to help people manage both their mental illness and substance disorders so that they can pursue their own meaningful life goals.
