Focus on Integrated Treatment (FIT) is an innovative online training program designed to help addiction treatment and mental health professionals develop the skills to work effectively with clients who have co-occurring disorders.  FIT uses real-world videos, simulations, and highly interactive methods to engage clinicians in mastering content about co-occurring disorders and practicing the evidence-based practices needed for effective integrated treatment. Studies show that integrated treatment--the evidence-based practice of addressing a person's co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders at the same time, in the same setting, with the same clinician(s)--is the most effective service strategy available for those with co-occurring disorders. This webinar provides an overview of FIT and explains its role in providing the tools and training needed to become a Certified Co-occurring Disorders Professional (CCDP) or a Certified Co-occurring Disorders Professional Diplomate (CCDPD) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC).
