Co-Occurring Psychiatric and Substance Abuse Disorders (COPSD)

Co-Occurring Psychiatric and Substance Abuse Disorders (COPSD)

Historically, the State of Texas has provided mental health services for persons with severe and persistent mental illness through the Texas Department of Mental health Mental Retardation (TDMHMR) and the detox doctor malibu services for persons with substance abuse/chemical dependence through the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA). These services to the mentally ill and chemically dependent are provided in parallel, separate systems of care. TDMHMR and TCADA acknowledge that evidence now exists to support the philosophy that, models of care which integrate mental health and substance abuse detox los angeles for persons with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders can succeed where our parallel, separate systems of care have historically failed.

Therefore, the 74th Legislature, Pursuant to SCR 88, mandated that TDMHMR and TCADA cooperate in the design, implementation, and evaluation of Integrated detox malibu. The pilot project has now ended and currently DSHS is funding contractors in Texas to provide services to people with co-occurring disorders using COPSD Specialists.
