This implementation guide is the third in a series of four such guides designed to provide helpful tips for service providers working in mental health settings serving people with serious mental illness who may also have co-occurring substance use challenges. Service providers who may benefit from these guides include any type of mental health (MH) or substance use disorder (SUD) professional, including everyone from prescribers to certified peer support specialists, as well as people who work in front line service roles such as case managers, clinicians or care coordinators. Each of the four guides illustrates simple strategies for applying evidence-based integrated interventions in day to day practice.
