Synopsis

Hazelden's bestselling program for addressing and treating co-occurring disorders is now better than ever. Updated to meet DSM-5 classifications, and with a beautiful new design, new titles that help you immediately find what you need, this evidence-based program addresses issues that directly impact clients living with a substance use disorder and non-severe mental illness.

Screening and Assessment is a must-have tool that offers an effective, protocol-driven evaluation method so that you can deliver appropriate treatment specific to each client’s symptoms, disorder, and motivation to change. It helps frontline clinicians detect, identify, classify, and monitor changes in co-occurring disorders – an essential first step in the treatment process.

The practical guide is used to screen and assess mental health problems in the context of substance use disorders. It is also useful in mental health settings as it addresses the presence of substance use problems co-existing with psychiatric disorders.

The accompanying CD-ROM includes screening measures for the most common psychiatric disorders; reproducible tools for evaluating patients’ motivation to change; and a treatment plan template to help guide clinicians as they initiate treatment.
