Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders rarely exist in isolation. Many individuals also live with chronic medical conditions that complicate diagnosis, engagement, and treatment outcomes. This session introduces a systems-based framework for understanding the intersection of behavioral health, substance use, and medical comorbidity. Participants will explore how fragmented care systems, social and environmental factors that affect health, and interprofessional silos impact clinical outcomes, and how integrated care models can improve coordination, retention, and lower healthcare costs.
This 4-part webinar series, hosted by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, is inclusive of 2 webinars and 2 coaching calls.
