Collaboration for addiction and mental health care : best advice

Andres, Barry (author.). Addiction and Mental Health Collaborative Project Steering Committee (Canada), (creator.). Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, (creator,). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: "Collaboration among providers, both within and across service sectors, has been established as a best practice to address a variety of health issues more effectively. This fact is also true for addiction and mental health services where the co-occurrence of addiction, mental health problems and physical co-morbidity are very common and particularly challenging to address. While Canada has seen substantial momentum at the systems level toward improved collaboration between the mental health and addiction sectors, effective strategies for collaboration at the practice level have not yet been systematically developed, evaluated, documented and shared. This document describes specific models and approaches for collaboration that have had some traction in the research literature, including the model presented by the Canadian Collaborative Working Group on Shared Mental Health Care, the Chronic Care Model and the Tiered Model. These models have several features in common that are specific to collaborative efforts."--Executive summary.
