CO-OCCURRING TREATMENT
CMH subscribes to the principle of integrated treatment. Health conditions are not mutually exclusive, and therefore it is not uncommon for individuals to have more than one condition at the same time, i.e. co-occurring. Co-occurring conditions include intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, physical health conditions, and/or substance use disorders. An integrated treatment approach is based on an understanding that co-occurring conditions impact the symptoms of each other, and therefore the most effective treatment is a holistic one, rather than one that treats each condition separately

ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT PROGRAM

Services are provided in the beneficiary’s residence or in other community locations by members of the ACT team.
