Sciacca, 1998, 2006 CURRICULUM for MICAA and CAMI DIRECT CARE PROVIDERS: MENTAL ILLNESS, DRUG ADDICTION AND ALCOHOLISM MIDAA® and HIV: Training, Cross-Training and Program Development. Developed by: Kathleen Sciacca, M.A. The goals of staff development and program development for dual/multiple disorders of co-occurring mental illness and substance disorders are directed toward the following accomplishments: 1. Each program in both the mental health and substance abuse service systems should include a screening instrument to detect persons who have dual disorders at the time of intake. The screening forms used within mental health and substance abuse programs should be sensitive to, and identify dual disorders in both populations (Sciacca, 1990). 2. Once identified there should be a protocol of communication that will direct the consumer to a component of treatment services that addresses dual disorders within or outside of the agency. 3. Program models should be available that engage consumers into treatment and/or services at various stages of treatment readiness and motivation. Programs should include and engage consumers along the continuum from denial to recovery. 4. Attitudes and values of staff should include acceptance of all symptoms, empathy and the desire to promote self efficacy and instill hope for recovery. 5. Non-judgmental, non-confrontational approaches are essential. Staff should be patient and convey genuine concern for the consumer's well being as a necessary pre-requisite to the development of trust. Treatment environments must be conducive to the relationship between level of consumer trust and positive treatment outcomes. 6. The attainment of the provision of dual diagnosis services within each program model from both systems within a given community is a formidable goal. This should include continuity of care across program models, i.e., inpatient, clinic, clubhouse, detoxification, substance abuse counseling, residential, etc., and across systems, mental health and substance abuse. (Sciacca, Thompson 1996). Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 4 Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 Curriculum, page 2, K. Sciacca. 7. Consumers should have ready access to detoxification units, rehabilitation programs and other more intense models of treatment. Continuity across service models yields available dual diagnosis programs for consumers at various degrees of symptom severity and various levels of treatment and recovery. 8. All direct care providers including case managers must be sensitive to, and understand both mental health and substance disorders. They should be trained in providing non-judgmental, basic interventions that assist consumers to become aware of their symptoms. They should support and encourage participation in dual diagnosis treatment whenever possible, and work cooperatively with dual diagnosis service providers. 9. All consumers in both substance abuse and mental health programs should be provided with education about the etiology, symptoms, process and recovery from both substance disorders and mental health disorders. Substance abuse consumers do not initially have to own labels of mental disorders, and mental health consumers need not own labels of substance disorders. Information should be presented from the perspective of each symptom, i.e., depression, anxiety, delusions, addiction, etc. and interaction effects. Information should reduce stigma, blame and moral perspectives regarding any symptom of either the substance abuse or mental health disorder and related behaviors. 10. Engaging each consumer to comfortably discuss experiences around individual symptoms should permit an on-going assessment of the consumer's potential need for more formal or intense treatment. It should also include the opportunity to assist in motivating the consumer to recognize the effects these symptoms may have upon their well being, substance disorders and mental health. 11. Staff should be comfortable and supportive of various rates of consumer progress. Staff should be trained in skills that enhance consumer engagement and in motivational interviewing skills (Sciacca,1997). 12. Dual disorder group treatment for those consumers identified as having mental health and substance disorder symptoms should be integrated into each substance abuse and mental health program in every model of care regardless of duration. (Sciacca, Thompson, 1996). 13. Services should include a comprehensive dual diagnosis assessment (Sciacca, 1990). This should be administrated by a trained professional at a time when the consumer is comfortable to discuss his/her symptoms about the disorder that is not Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 5 Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 Curriculum, page 3, K. Sciacca. the primary focus of the agency. The professional should be trained to interpret the assessment and integrate the information into treatment goals and planning. 14. Comprehensive treatment models should address dual/multiple disorders within a single treatment paradigm. Group treatment is optimal for this purpose. Small groups are often essential for engagement and sustained participation. Staff should receive training in group leading skills. They should be educated about each disorder and knowledgeable about interaction effects. They should be able to provide pertinent education to consumers. 15. Comprehensive services may also include programs for families of the dually diagnosed. Family programs may include multiple family groups. Content in these programs include education; assistance with resources; attention to the well being of family members including safety. Leaders should be trained to conduct these programs and to include ongoing assessment of family issues (Sciacca, Hatfield, 1995). Families do not have be in need of "treatment" to attend these programs. Dual diagnosis family programs can be based upon education, support and assistance with resources. Family members should be permitted to participate at their own pace and disclose information when comfortable to do so. One goal is to strengthen the family's ability to cope with the dually diagnosed relative and thereby prevent further loss of supports. Staff should respect families and learn from their experiences with the consumer. Families should be viewed as consumer supports and not as intruders. 16. Comprehensive services may also include consumer led self help programs as an adjunct to formal treatment (Sciacca, 1997). This alternative model provides additional support outside of program hours and provides new roles and responsibilities for dually diagnosed consumers. In programs developed thus far consumers have met the challenges of this program model. ADMINISTRATION: 1. Systems level administrators must make clear decisions to yield services and systems that are comprehensive in scope. The inclusion of dual diagnosis services across all levels of care and within each program in each system (mental health and substance abuse) is a formative goal. (Sciacca, Thompson, 1996). 2. Decisions to yield a given community of care comprehensive must be clearly articulated to managers, supervisors and staff within every program in each system. This should include a Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 6 Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 Curriculum, page 4, K. Sciacca. written declaration of intent and goals. 3. A needs assessment may be conducted within and across systems and within each program. Managers and providers should be included in a survey that summarizes observations, suggestions, and potential solutions. 4. A model of dual diagnosis treatment and services should be agreed upon. The model should be consistent in philosophy, methodology and attitudes and values. 6. A plan of implementation should include integration of systems and accessible continuity of care across all program models. 7. Implementation should begin with training overviews that include systems issues; historical divisions in philosophy and methodology across disciplines and systems; differentiating client profiles and corresponding treatment needs; etiology and physiology of discrete disorders of mental illness and substance disorders and an overview of interaction effects; the treatment model(s) and philosophy(s) intended for implementation; the attitudes, values and skills expected of staff to be identified for additional training as dual diagnosis resource persons; a review of program materials, screening, assessment, engagement, progress outcome, data collection, etc. (Sciacca, 1990, Sciacca, Thompson, 1996), and an overview of the training process and curriculum that staff will participate in to be able to implement programs and become resource persons. 8. Follow up meetings with administrators, managers/supervisors of discrete programs should be included along with on-going staff development and training. 9. Staff competencies should be reviewed as necessary to each program model. Staff disciplines should be considered for specific program models as optimal prerequisites for dual diagnosis training. 10. The treatment model and outcome measures should be adapted to each specific service program. Adaptations account for length of stay; frequency of treatment; intensity of program; over-all goals and objectives of program. Dual diagnosis program guidelines and outcome goals and objectives should realistically reflect the level of motivation and readiness of the consumer and the duration and intensity of the interventions. 11. Materials should be developed or revised in adaptation to each program model and it's objectives. Implementation and refinement of these processes and materials should result in standards for each program model along Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 7 Copyright, K. Sciacca, 1998, 2006 Curriculum, page 5, K. Sciacca. the continuum of care. This should address program development and implementation, and staff development curriculum and training. 12. Staff development should ensue with training groups that integrate disciplines and providers from both systems. Staff are cross-trained within the same training group. Optimal experiential training includes each staff member providing group treatment services within her/his own system and the alternative system with a co-leader who is from/familiar with the alternative system. Experiential training should occur under the supervision of the consultant/trainer as a part of the education, training and program implementation. (Sciacca, Thompson, 1996).
