The Ohio Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Coordinating Center of Excellence (Ohio SAMI CCOE) is a technical-assistance initiative of the CEBP. Our SAMI consultants and trainers utilize specific strategies to help service systems and organizations enhance services and outcomes for people diagnosed with mental illness, substance-use disorders (addiction to tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs), or both (co-occurring disorders).
The strategies include but are not limited to the following:
Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) is an evidence-based practice that improves the quality of life for people with co-occurring severe mental illness and substance-use disorders by combining substance abuse services with mental health services. IDDT helps people address both disorders at the same time—in the same service organization by the same team of treatment providers. IDDT takes a stages-of-change approach to treatment by emphasizing that big changes like sobriety and symptom management occur through incremental changes over time.

Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) for Inpatient Settings was developed by the Ohio Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Coordinating Center of Excellence (CCOE)—an initiative of the Center for Evidence-Based at Case Western Reserve University—and the State of Ohio’s inpatient Behavioral Healthcare Organizations (BHOs). This model was created with reference to and as an adaptation of the community-based IDDT model and fidelity scale.

Dual Diagnosis Capability in Addiction Treatment (DDCAT) helps service organizations assess their capability (or capacity) to provide treatment to people diagnosed with a substance-use disorder who also have a co-occurring mental illness and to develop and implement a plan to do so with increasing capacity over time. The DDCAT index explores an organization's policies, clinical practices, and workforce capacities.
