Primary Care is often referred to as the de facto mental health system in the United States because most patients who are treated for a mental health disorder are treated there and not in a psychiatric facility. Co-occurring disorders, which include the existence of a mental health disorder and a substance use or alcohol use disorder, are very common and will be seen quite often in a primary care setting. This training discusses strategies for treating co-occurring disorders in primary care using an integrated behavioral health team approach.
