• Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders in Nontraditional Service Settings

• Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders Evidence-Based Practices Kit
  This SAMSHA publication provides practice principles about integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, an approach that helps people recover by offering mental health and substance abuse services at the same time and in one setting. It offers suggestions from successful programs.

• SAMHSA's National registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices
