Integrated Treatment: The Model and European Experiences

Co-occurring Addictive and Psychiatric Disorders

Abstract

Integrated treatment of dual disorder patients was introduced in response to the failures of both sequential and parallel treatment approaches. Integrated treatment aims at treating both disorders concurrently, by one provider or a team of providers who are trained and knowledgeable in both fields (psychiatry and addiction). Care is delivered in a consistent manner, using the same philosophy and approach. There are several integrated care models, but the most elaborate one is the model for Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT). The IDDT model consists of more than 20 treatment and organisational components, which makes it comprehensive but difficult to implement. Outreach, motivation-based treatment group treatment and specific pharmacological treatment are some of these components. Over the last decades, integrated treatment has, in many European countries, become the preferred treatment model for dual disorder patients and National expertise centres and consortiums have been established to facilitate and help organisations with the implementation of integrated treatment.
