Practical for Your Practice: Meeting Clients Where They Are - EBPs in Dual Diagnosis Cases

Practical for Your Practice album coverEpisode 8, Season 5: Meeting Clients Where They Are: EBPs in Dual Diagnosis Cases

Guest: Dr. Mark Campanile

One of the most common co-morbid conditions with many of the disorders treated by mental health providers is substance-use disorder (SUD). And while many of us as providers are trained in evidence-based psychotherapies for disorders such as PTSD, MDD, GAD, Primary Insomnia, etc, many of us are not as well trained regarding how to manage or treat co-morbid SUD. Research demonstrates that concurrent treatment of the primary condition and co-morbid SUD has the highest likelihood of positive treatment outcomes. Join us as our guest, Dr. Mark Campanile, discusses medication assisted therapies for SUD and incorporating concurrent treatments for dual diagnosis cases in a Veterans Affairs clinic.

  • Re: Oslin, D study referenced at [11:30]: “Dr. Oslin who heads up our VISN 4 MIRECC reports: ‘There is a study that we participated in that compared exposure therapy (PE or CPT) to present centered therapy in patient with concurrent addiction and PTSD but we don’t know the results yet. The study is complete so results should be soon. This one is most promising to me to potentially change how we practice.’ So keep your eyes open for that.”
