While treatment works better than no treatment, there's no one just simple model that fits for all people, and that we have to really draw on a wide variety of evidence-based practices and promising practices to focus on what's going to work best for this person at this point in time, at their particular stage of readiness and interest, and to focus it in a more individualized outcomes-driven way, not in an ideological model way.
Imagine trying to balance two complex issues at once – that’s the reality for those dealing with both mental health and substance use disorders. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Dr. Mee-Lee, a top expert in co-occurring disorders, to untangle these intricate challenges. Dr. Mee-Lee brings over thirty years of experience to the table, offering a fresh perspective on how cultural differences can impact treatment outcomes.
His unique blend of Australian upbringing and Chinese heritage adds a layer of depth and humor to the conversation, making complex topics accessible and engaging. He dives into the importance of personalized, outcome-driven care, stressing that one-size-fits-all solutions just don't cut it. Dr. Mee-Lee also sheds light on the historical roots of mental health and substance abuse treatment, emphasizing the need for thorough individual assessments and the growing national push for screening and brief interventions.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and rich content, perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of managing co-occurring disorders. Whether you’re a healthcare professional or someone personally affected by these issues, you'll find valuable insights and actionable strategies to help bridge the gap between mental health and substance abuse treatment.
