Community Mental Health Services for Substance Use DisordersLifeWays Community Mental Health (CMH) provides a comprehensive array of services for people with a
co-occurring disorder. Eligibility for services requires that an
individual has both a serious mental illness as well as a significant
substance use disorder. The best practice model for treatment of both
disorders is a comprehensive, continuous, integrated system of care.
Staff providing services have expertise and competencies in both
disorders and are able to treat the whole person, over time, regardless
of their treatment adherence or level of substance use.
The most intensive interventions are delivered by a team. The
Integrated Dually Diagnosed Treatment teams (IDDT) exist in both Jackson and Hillsdale counties
and may be connected to Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team.
Services offered by the IDDT teams include stage matched interventions
designed to meet the recipient where they are in their recovery from
their mental illness and their substance use.
For individuals who do not have a co-occurring disorder or where an
individual's substance use is primary, the following services are
available through Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission (MSSAC).
You can find out what your substance use disorder treatment options are by calling MSSAC at NMSAS access center toll-free at (888) 230-7629.
