Connected needs • A whole-person perspective
Integrated Behavioral Health & Substance Use Treatment
A coordinated perspective for people experiencing both mental health and substance use concerns.
Understanding the program
What is this service?
Mental health and substance use concerns can affect one another. Integrated treatment considers these connected needs together rather than viewing each in isolation. ABJ’s integrated behavioral health and substance use treatment approach begins with understanding the person’s priorities and discussing which available services may fit.
Who it serves
People experiencing both behavioral health and substance use concerns, and families or professionals helping them explore care. The team must confirm suitability and the scope of coordination available.
What to expect
Your first conversation is an opportunity to understand options. Actual care arrangements are confirmed with ABJ.
- 1
A discussion of both mental health and substance use needs, without assumptions or judgment.
- 2
Clarification of the services that may be appropriate and how treatment goals connect.
- 3
Discussion of consent and communication with other providers when coordination is relevant.
Potential benefits
Depending on the person, their needs, and the care provided, goals may include:
- A more connected understanding of treatment needs
- Goals that consider different areas of well-being
- Opportunities to discuss coordinated next steps
Experiences and outcomes vary. These are possible goals, not promises of a particular result.
