Co-occurring mental illness and addiction are brain diseases that
affect individuals, families, and communities regardless of
socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or upbringing. There is no magic
bullet for these chronic illnesses, but there are effective
treatments through which recovery is achieved. When the Door Opened
tells the authentic stories of twelve men who have experienced
treatment and recovery from co-occurring mental illness and
substance use disorders. Mary Ryan Woods, RNC, and Katherine
Armstrong interviewed current and past participants from
WestBridge, a dual diagnosis treatment program. Based on their
dialogue, each chapter shares the raw memories and candid
reflections of one man regarding his journey. Every individual who
experiences treatment for co-occurring disorders defines recovery
uniquely. By giving voice to these experiences, we can decrease the
misconceptions and stigma faced by individuals in recovery from
mental illness and substance use disorders.
This comprehensive clinical handbook provides virtually everything
needed to plan, deliver, and evaluate effective treatment for
persons with substance abuse problems and persistent mental
illness. From authors at the forefront of the dual disorders field,

performing state-of-the-art assessments, and implementing a wide
range of individual, group, and family interventions. Also

As the philosophy, major tenets, and techniques of the movement
have evolved, evidence-based medicine has strongly influenced
individual health care decision-making, the practices offered in
health care programs, and the structure of medical and public
health systems. Evidence-based medicine has also begun to influence
the field of mental health. As support for evidence-based medicine
grows in mental health, the need to clarify its fundamental
principles also increases. In dealing with the new era of
evidence-based practice, mental health practitioners are now
confronted with a sense of obligation to understand these practices
and to implement them in order to provide the best available
services to consumers. This book explores some of the complex
challenges in implementing EBPs, and highlights the meaningful
opportunities that are inherent in this paradigm shift. This
comprehensive textbook will become an essential primer for all
practitioners and students who are grappling with the new age of
evidence-based practice.
Traditional approaches to vocational rehabilitation, such as skills training classes, job clubs, and sheltered employment, have not been successful in helping people with severe mental illness gain competitive employment. Supported employment, in which clients are placed in jobs and then trained by on-site coaches, is a radically new conceptual approach to vocational rehabilitation designed for people with developmental disabilities. The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) method utilizes the supported employment concept, but modifies it for use with the severely mentally ill. It is the only approach that has a strong empirical research base: rates of competitive employment are 40% or more in IPS programs, compared to 15% in traditional mental health programs. The third volume in the Innovations in Practice and Service Delivery with Vulnerable Populations series, this will be extremely useful to students in psychiatric rehabilitation programs and social work classes dealing with the severely mentally ill, as well as to practitioners in the field.
