Integrated Treatment for Mental Health and Substance Abuse for Adults
COMTREA Inc. recognizes the need to provide holistic, integrated treatment for those persons and families experiencing co-occurring disorders. The services are provided by professional and paraprofessional staff, with significant training in the areas of mental health and substance use disorders.
We are treating them together as a co-primary disorder and working to engage clients and their families in the recovery process for 12-24 months initially. Our staff works with clients and families to establish a support network within local communities, as well as the 12 Step Community, to best meet their individual needs for success and support.
As COMTREA is now a Health Center, we can add the component of primary and physical health care to our service package for our clients. Besides the co occurring nature of the illness, many of our clients have significant health concerns prior to or as a result of the complex nature of their illnesses. We are now able to refer to Byrnes Mill Health Center (a Division of COMTREA) for those clients who are need of primary care.
- Co-occurring disorders are characterized by different levels of functioning.
- Co-occurring disorders are reported to have a 50-75% prevalence rate among clients in substance abuse treatment programs, and a 20-50% prevalence rate among clients in a mental health setting. (TIP 42, SAMSHA)
- It is not clear which disorder causes the other, and that should not be a focus area.
