Without proper treatment, people with co-occurring mental health and substance use problems are at great risk for poor outcomes and high treatment costs in multiple domains. Intermediary organizations can provide support to programs implementing integrated treatment and other evidence-based practices; this includes developing practical tools for programs built to encourage fidelity to a particular practice. In this paper, we describe a group curriculum workbook designed to help practitioners provide integrated treatment with fidelity and a pilot learning collaborative to evaluate whether this workbook is a helpful tool for programs to support people with serious mental health conditions and substance use in identifying and achieving personal goals. Results of the pilot found that nearly all participants demonstrated progress with respect to their identified goals, and group facilitators reported that the workbook was easy to use, that participants enjoyed the material, and that they intended to continue offering the group as part of their regular programming.
未经适当治疗，同时存在心理健康和物质使用问题的人群在多个领域都面临较差结局和高昂治疗费用的巨大风险。中介组织可为实施综合治疗和其他基于证据的实践的项目提供支持；这包括为旨在鼓励对特定实践保持一致的项目制定实用工具。在本文中，我们描述了一个小组课程手册，旨在帮助从业者提供一致的综合治疗，并开展试点学习合作，以评估该手册是否有助于支持有严重心理健康问题和物质使用问题的人群识别和实现个人目标。试点结果发现，几乎所有参与者在其确定的目标方面都取得了进展，小组协调员报告说，该手册易于使用，参与者喜欢这些材料，并且他们打算继续将该小组作为其常规项目的一部分提供。
