Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders (IT-COD) is an evidence-based practice for adults who have co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse.
Instead of parallel or sequential treatment, IT-COD occurs when a person receives combined treatment for mental illness and substance use from the same clinician or treatment team in the same setting.
This treatment helps people develop hope, knowledge, skills and the support they need to manage their problems and to pursue meaningful life goals.
