CEU Course Description

Substance use disorders and mental disorders are detrimental to the health of individuals and to society as a whole. The tendency of the aforementioned disorders to co-occur can make the damage they cause more extensive and the treatment increasingly complex. With that in mind, the question is, how can individuals treat and manage those persons with co-occurring disorders? This course will answer that very question by reviewing a Treatment Improvement Protocol designed to optimize care.
